Science Under the Big Top</a> (which reminded me that I wanted to join the circus back when I was 18).  One thing I did not know was that to get to the museum from Berkeley campus, it is a couple of miles of steep uphill, which I climbed on foot.  Should have hitchiked!<br />
Wifi is iffy right now, so I&#8217;ll post as many pictures per post as the system will let me.  First, just to show how high up the place is, the entire Bay Area is clearly visible &#8211; though, of course, covered in fog:</p>
