Arts and witchcraft

First night in San Francisco and we had an earthquake, 4.2 richter.
You could feel it but it was small enough to cause no damage.

Friday was a Harry Potter day (of sorts). In the big bookstore in the
center they were preparing for the publishing of the last Harry Potter
novel the next day, and they were preparing to start selling the book
at 12.01 am. We decided not to go for the numbered wristbands for the
midnight to buy the new book, they promised they should have it still
in the morning), but we went to see the new movie in IMAX, with parts
of it in 3D. Fun!

Before the movie we visited SF Museum of Modern Art where we had a
guided tour of their photography section. It was very good and very
interesting.

In the evening we aimed towards the waterfront and went there in true
SF style: with a cable car (a tram, not a gondola). We continued with
a little shopping and went to eat at Chowhound food site endorsed
vietnamise haute cuisine restaurant, the Slanted Door. We had no
reservation but we managed to get seats in the lounge area, even
though there was a lot of people there. Apparently, if a restaurant is
popular is SF, it is really popular!

On our way back to the hotel, we decided to go by the bookstore to see
whether there was a major Harry Potter partying going on there. It was
quite quiet there, just a couple of teenagers in costumes, just
reading or something. Apparently, the bookish types aren't at their
best in throwing a party... I mean, reading in a party, what's up with
that??
