Rode Muni to Embarcadero Station. Walked to Rincon Center. Brunch at Yank Sing Rincon Center with Neil, Matthias, and Danny. This is my first time meeting Matthias. We enjoyed dim sum with ice water and hot tea, finishing with two slices of pistachio ice cream cake. Afterwards Danny left for another lunch date. Matthias, Neil, and I rode Muni to Civic Center Station and visited the Asian Art Museum. The current main exhibit was The Rama Epic: Hero, Heroine, Ally, Foe. We toured floors 1 and 3 then broke for refreshment at the cafe, sitting on the patio with beverages and sharing a tandoori chicken sandwich with small side salad. Floor 2, a quick run thru Samsung Hall where a performance had recently ended, then a circle in the loggia completed the trip. By now it was around 4 PM, and they departed to gather luggage to switch hotels (Hyatt to Kimpton Buchanan). I rode Muni home in the opposite direction. Rested. Edited and uploaded photos to Flickr. Dinner at home with Patrick: Blue Apron crispy chicken with mashed potato and spicy collard greens.
