24/4-SF10 just a list of things

too much things to do already, time to write is very limited.
Left out for yesterday, is my visit to SF central library, 2nd hand bkshop, exhibition corners and thematic reading rooms (on sexuality, african american etc.) there.
seedy market street section.
The united nations plaza, with carved history of the once ROC in its first founding column. (and justice, human rights they say!)
The only moving historical monument: the cable car ride to the northern shoreline.
Instead of the many marine museums around the fishermanwharf, a gallery with chagall's coloured print on fontaine's tales, the lovely musee mechanique (unfortunately the fortune telling wizard that Tom Hanks' made a wish to be a grown up is still working, in another storefront, don't know which city the film is based on though, but I do remember it placed on the boardwalk facing the sea) and also the beat museum at cannery.
how fort mason has been reutilized for arts groups, city college of arts and sfmoma gallery, also another bookbay bkstore and the friendly (eco, also) green cafe.
The touristic setting of fishermanwharf, and pier 39, instant 3.d. portrait in crystal souvenior seems new to me, the T-shirt sentences of the chocolate shop, the other one on put ketchup on ketchup, which I don't ctach really, and also a movie turn reality, not shampan, but gump shrimp restaurant with gifts like sign: Run Forest Run!, just on the opposite side of the pier where sea lions are sun-bathing.
The tourist is finally heading home, and passed by chinatown to see the TWO China flags hoisted up high, and then the usual classy fashion stores front like Armani at Union Square, and cody's bks.
