Turtle Rock Bouldering - San Francisco

Turtle Rock has great bouldering with an awesome vista to San Francisco and Marin County. Benoit sent his first V1, very powerful, overhanging, on good holds. Meantime, I almost (2 inches) put my hand on a snake on the top of the rock. I wonder what was that snake doing there but it did scare the shit out of me.

Nice work!

Sending the V4 low traverse.

V1 slab, a bit worry about lose rock.

The dream team.

De Young Museum

Claire and I went to the city to visit the De Young museum. We had a great time until the fire alarm ringed causing an evacuation.
We will be back with the kids.

Monet in Normandy

We went to San Francisco to visit our friend Jean and also to check the Monet exhibition in the Legion of Honor museum (here http://www.monetinnormandy.org/).

Jean guided us to the French bakery one block away from his appartement. Since that bakery is only known by French, I will not reveal the name :)

The museum visit was great even if it was packed with people. We could not take any picture of the exhibit since it is forbidden. I still managed to get one shot of my favorite Monet's painting before the guard rushed and told me to stop :(



Only at SF or in France you can find those delicious desserts.












The only baguette that I know of in California which actually looks and tasts like a French baguette.
















Brioche + Orangina: life can not get any better.


















Quiche.
