The conversations were fascinating, and the breakfast was delicious: rolls<br \/>\nwith butter and jams, muffins, \u00a0and either plain or almond croissants.<!--more--> Notice that I didn&#8217;t say this was a healthy breakfast, but it was delicious, and we were certain that we would walk it off.<\/p>\n<p>At this point I discovered that I had inadvertently left one of my prescriptions at home. We\u00a0used our GPS to find a Walgreen&#8217;s near the B &amp; B. My prescription was in their computer, and they were able to fill it while I waited. We found\u00a0that we were near Chinatown,<a href=\"http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_4829.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-818 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_4829-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"img_4829\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_4829-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_4829-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_4829-768x771.jpg 768w, http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_4829.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> so we decided to walk to the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory (there&#8217;s that name again!), where we could see \u00a0fortune cookies being made by hand. You can pay extra to write your own fortune on a slip of paper and have it inserted in a cookie. I had one made for Nicholas,\u00a0saying that he would do well in the Twitter buyout.<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon we decided to go to the \u00a0de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park.

Humans have felt the need to express themselves by creating what they saw or imagined in every part of the earth for centuries. This was a very powerful realization for me.<\/p>\n<p>After the museum, we called Nicholas to make arrangements for our Alcatraz tour the next day. He said he was not too far away from us and he&#8217;d be glad to meet us \u00a0for dinner. This was unlike the &#8220;overtake&#8221; problems I\u00a0did in math decades ago, \u00a0because we\u00a0walked up, down, and around several hills until we met each other. We decided on a Thai restaurant, where I had Pad Thai for the first time and loved it. Nicholas&#8217; dessert was his fortune cookie. \u00a0We made our plans for Sunday morning as we parted after dinner.<a href=\"http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSG_2818.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-814 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSG_2818-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"dsg_2818\" width=\"516\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSG_2818-300x217.jpg 300w, http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSG_2818-768x555.jpg 768w, http:\/\/pisarro.org\/aboutnick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSG_2818.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday morning, we had our first continental breakfast at our B &amp; B.
