Thanksgiving Break

This Thanksgiving break, my family and I visited San Francisco, where we stayed at the Hyatt. In San Francisco, we visited many places, including the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and many shops in the Mission district.

MoMa

There was one really fun exhibit at the MOMA. It was called Frequency and Volume by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. There were projectors lined up against the wall, and by standing in front of them you could cast shadows. The special part of that exhibit was that by moving side to side, you could change the radio station. On the opposite side of the projectors, speakers were lined up and by moving forward and backward you could change the volume. My siblings and I had a great time at that exhibit, and we spent almost an hour there.

This was one picture in the MOMA that I really liked. Mushrooms with multiple eyes and spikes.

Walking through the Mission district, some unique shops really caught my eye.

Dandelion Chocolate recently opened. It has a shelf describing the different type of chocolate, and there are jars for sampling too. A nice man who worked there explained to us how chocolate is made.
