I have been unbelievably busy these past few weeks keeping up with summer classes and work. I feel like I'm running a race and just barely keeping up with my last breath. Yesterday, though, I allowed myself a whole day of fun, visiting several districts of San Francisco: The Historic Civic Center District, Nob Hill, Tenderloin, Tenderknob, North Beach, The Financial District, Chinatown, and Fisherman's Wharf. That's at least four miles of walking, and my legs are reminding me today, but it was worth it to share these places with a good friend of mine who just moved to San Francisco and had not done a lot of exploring yet.
I am still waiting for all my pictures to transfer over to my email, but in the meantime, here is a sneak peek to show what's to come...

An entry from an old fashioned card catalog at the San Francisco Main Public Library...
Outside of a market in Chinatown....
Washington Park in North Beach....
So, I definitely got my fill of San Francisco for the time being. Stay tuned for more! What did you do this weekend?
She's Alive!!! Woohoo! Back tomorrow, Jen, to catch up. Great pics--no great surprise given your knack for taking them. Enjoy your day :)
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon, Jen!
ReplyDeletePeeking in to see if more highlights of your recent trip to SF were up...staying tuned and wishing you a great day. Hope your calves/shins are okay following all that walking w/your friend. Off the top of your head, Is there a hotdog vendor in Washington Park in North Beach?
Hope you had a great day too, Al! My day was busy but I got a lot done. Not even sore from all that walking, which is pretty remarkable. :)
DeleteI don't think there are any hot dog vendors in Washington Park... it's just this big grassy area where people go to sit and relax. There is one hot dog vendor that I see in Downtown San Jose sometimes, but not in a park, he is just on the sidewalk around the center of downtown where there are a lot of restaurants, hotels and foot traffic.
Hot dog vendor inquiry? Gosh yoou have to love him?
DeleteHaha, yep :). A hot dog vendor is a nice addition to any park.. that and perhaps a snow cone vendor. Nothing like a snow cone on a hot day.
DeleteAw shucks @ no hotdog vendor in such a lovely park setting. Am scrambling out to shake down the hotdog vendor in a few...hmmm, a snow cone would make for an epic treat today too. Have a great weekend you guys :)
DeleteHave a great weekend too Al! I am going to try to get as much schoolwork done as I can, but still relax a bit.
DeleteHi Jen!
ReplyDeleteSorry I have been reluctant to reply, what a great post and thanks for the sneak peek of your weekend extravaganza! WOW!I do love your visual aids, always have!
I am going through re-locating, many changes in my life...finally! Kind of different and scary too! All the best sweetie!
Oh, no problem, I hadn't posted for a few weeks but I finally had a chance to go to San Francisco and take some pictures. I hope your relocating is going alright.
DeleteYou are the best of best! I DO want to experience what you post with your expertise.
DeleteAw thanks Meesh! If you ever get a chance to visit San Francisco-- have you been? Well, if you get a chance, I highly recommend it. It's one of my favorite places ever.
DeleteNope, never been but would love to... dumb canuck, sitting here.
DeleteOh, no, you're not dumb at all. I haven't even been out of the country. All of us could do some more traveling, to one place or another.
