Titanic exhibition

On the weekend, we went and saw the Titanic Exhibition in San Francisco. Two words - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! The exhibit had about 300 items that they had brought up from off the ocean floor and restored. Things like old playing cards, a gentleman's bowler hat, jewellery, clothes, old letters, and even a huge section of the hull! What truly amazed me the most, apart from recreating the famous staircase, was a huge chunk of ice. They encouraged you to touch the ice and the water that the people perished in was colder than the ice!!!! So, many of the passangers died of hypothermia! But, really, the exhibit was very fascinating and extremely well done!

Ps. On the back of the tickets it says "If a legal game, as defined by major league baseball, is not played for any reason, this ticket may be exchanged for the same priced seat for any other regular same season baseball game for which tickets are available." Baseball was not played at the exhibition, so I guess we get tickets to the baseball :)
