Si and I walked all the way from Golden Gate Park back to The Mission for dinner with Sean after his second rehearsal. This view was beautiful - especially after walking uphill for 20 minutes.

The Bay to Breakers race went through the Golden Gate Park yesterday- thousands of people thronged in the Haight, decked out in bright costumes. It was a wild ruckus - an excuse to party for San Franciscans. Definitely a sight to see.

Sean brought us to Heinold’s First and Last Chance - the Jack London bar on the docks of Oakland. By far the most salt bar I have ever had the pleasure of drinking at. Built in 1880, it fits 3 tables and a bar that seats 6. It’s a glorified shack by the water with a floor the slopes violently down as you walk in, giving you the feeling that  you’re exploring a burrow. The walks are covered with seafaring memorabilia - long since yellowed with age - and news clippings from the area. It felt like a magical place only found in stories.

Explored UC Berkley on their graduation day. Saw black gowned graduates celebrating everywhere.

In Oakland, I was surprised to see Andreas Gursky’s 99 cent store painting proudly displayed in a 99 cent store. :)

Si and I explored the Castro/Mission by ourselves while Sean had salsa practice. We spent most of the time admiring the painted ladies, and other great architecture. LA is no where near as colorful. #sanfran

China Town, SF - early Sunday morning. Spent a whirl-wind weekend in San Fran visiting Sean with Si, who had never been before. It was a very different experience than my first visit … In some eye opening ways- but we’ll get to that later
