Street Art in "The Mission" in San Francisco

The Street Art was one of my favourite things in San Francisco.  I liked that alot of the murals had themes of social justice and activism.  Most of these shots were taken in "Clarion Alley" in "The Mission" area of San Francisco.


California Sea Lions @ Pier 39 in San Francisco

California Sea Lions use Pier 39 in San Francisco to rest.  They frequent the Bay area because there is plenty of food nearby.  The docks are protected from storm waves and predators like Great White Sharks do not come into the Bay.


Yoshi's Jazz Club on Fillmore Street, San Francisco

The famous Fillmore Jazz Festival was happening the same week I was in town.  Susan took me to Yoshi's Jazz Club where you can eat Japanese food and listen to Jazz music.  It is very unique and very stylish inside.  There is a dinner/performance area where you can sit and eat and listen to live music.  There is also a more club-like area and a casual dining area.  I like that the kitchen is right up to the front.

4th of July BBQ w/Toisha & Susan

I went with these girls to a 4th of July rooftop patio BBQ.  We met up with some smart, funny, charming, progressive people.  Good eats and drinks - what's not to like?  Oh, we also had a stunning view of the hills.


Introducing Susan and The Hills of San Francisco

Susan is one of my very first and very best friends that I met in New York a few months after I moved there.  She now lives in San Francisco and I am there visiting her.  We didn't have hills like this in New York.  They are exhausting.  I ask her to comment on it.
