The Sunset and More!

The Beach at end of Taraval St.

It was an amazingly beautiful day today in San Francisco. I decided to head over to the Sunset and ended up walking 12 miles covering block after block of residential buildings. And there's lots more where that came from! I'll be walking in the Sunset for a long, long time.

Stephanie at Toronado


Jon and I walked over to the Castro neighborhood today to go to a birthday party for someone he knows from work. Other than Jon and me, everyone there was in their early 20's - kind of a generation gap!

After the party, we walked over to the Haight, and stopped in to see Stephanie at Toronado, and to have a Racer 5 (of course). Next, we walked to Positively Haight Street, a nice head shop on Haight and Masonic and hung out with our friend Jim. Then off to Amoeba Music, and finally home.
