Hell to Paradise in 50 Miles

03/03/2004

It has just been brought to my attention that the Cantor Art Center at Stanford University has the largest Rodin collection outside of France. They also have a copy of his much acclaimed Gates of Hell. Also, the San Francisco Grace Cathedral has a copy of Ghiberti’s famous Gates of Paradise. It’s funny to think that I can go from Hell to Paradise in such a short drive!
I asked Josh if he wanted to take the trek someday for fun, and his hatred for San Francisco really came through. He said, “If I have to go to San Francisco to get to paradise, I’ll just stay in Stanford’s hell.”
Hee hee.
