SF2

Whenever we've gone to spend time in SF, we've tried to do something different each time. We've been to Alcatraz and Angel Island; we've hiked around the city; we've been in shops and sampled wonderful food at different eateries. This time we decided to go the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf. Here are a few folks we met there.

In the hall of WWII leaders we ran into FDR and Harry Truman.
Of course, there was the coronation of the boy king of Egypt, King Tut.
I enjoyed a conversation with the guys who found the unspoiled tomb in 1926.
There were 3-D wax depictions of a number of famous pieces of art, including DaVinci's Last Supper.
Don't know if I'll ever visit the Wax Museum again or not, but it was definitely worth going once. It takes incredible talent to create all those figures, and I expected Yao Ming to stuff the basketball.
