Japanese Tea Garden, part 1

[dragoness_e]

One of the things I did the weekend before Christmas was travel up to San Francisco and check out some of the gardens in Golden Gate Park. I also hit Chinatown for a bit of shopping and dinner afterwards, but didn't get any pictures of that. Perhaps next time.
One of the things I wanted to see was the Japanese garden there, but, alas, it charged cash-only admission, and I had neglected to bring enough cash, assuming credit cards would be good for everything. (Hey, you can pay parking garage fees with them out here!) Whoops, won't make that mistake again when playing tourist.

This wasn't part of the Japanese Tea Garden, it just looked interesting.
