I seem to have communication issues at the moment. I love this little peek at a slice of history, and how perfect to find your group in costume.

There were couples around every corner being photographed for proms and weddings. Add to that the tourists and it was quite a crowd. Great scene, no privacy.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-52660158772031759602015-05-04T08:37:40.926-05:002015-05-04T08:37:40.926-05:00I have a funny memory of the Palace of Fine Arts. ...I have a funny memory of the Palace of Fine Arts. When I first moved to the Bay Area I was taken there by a guy who thought it would be romantic, but unfortunately I was not that into him! It is a pretty location, though.

(Even better than Judy Garland's 'Meet Me in St. Louis.' ) But I know they were in Chicago, too. And now Buffalo. Lots to research and, hopefully, visit.<br />If we'd gotten to the Palace earlier we might have seen them perform (or whatever they were doing.) Watching them drive away in a flivver was so delightful!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-55268625687538510012015-05-03T21:55:00.798-05:002015-05-03T21:55:00.798-05:00I'm sure you'll enjoy SF; there's alwa...I'm sure you'll enjoy SF; there's always something to do. Since this is the 100th anniversary of the Fair, there are several exhibits around town. One is at the Palace. Not sure where the others are. If you want to visit Alcatraz, be sure to purchase tickets early.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-47859281937167742452015-05-03T11:01:24.170-05:002015-05-03T11:01:24.170-05:00Ha!

An my imagination immediately filled in what it would have looked like if the colonnades could have held trees. It would have been even more awe inspiring and brings to mind the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. <br />Love the people who threw themselves into the spirit by dressing for the times. They know how to have fun! <br />Buffalo, NY too had a Pan-Am World's Fair Exposition in 1901. If you look at photos you can see that it was astonishing. It has always made me sad that so much of these types of expos were only built to last a brief time.
