So Sylvie

We went to San Francisco yesterday to see a Beniamino Bufano exhibit at the Randall Museum. Henry Miller said of this this wonderful sculptor and peace advocate, "He will outlive our civilization and probably be better known, better understood, both as a man and artist, five thousand years hence." Bufano remained a free spirit throughout his life until his death in San Francisco on August 16, 1970.

Above is Marcel (6 years) with one of Beniamino's cat sculptures from the 1930's.

Whenever I go to San Francisco I can't leave without a visit to Chinatown. I found these happy finger gloves for 75 cents! So much pleasure in being able to travel to a "foreign land" without leaving home.
