I think going to the city should be a treat just as you said, I don't think I'd want to live in one. And if I did have to I'd hope I could walk everywhere and not need to drive. Chinatown is interesting. So many shops all with the same trinkets nowadays though. The food markets are definitely cool to wander though.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-7086759227187863252013-01-15T15:42:24.980-08:002013-01-15T15:42:24.980-08:00Really great photos!

We'd go to San Francisco as a special family treat...to see a movie, or go out to eat in Chinatown. I got back there frequently on business as an adult. I could spend hours, days in Chinatown alone!Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483379631137787504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-66315138852436931172013-01-15T09:36:52.758-08:002013-01-15T09:36:52.758-08:00We did manage to cram a lot into two short days.

There seems to be a high concentration on the east coast as well. I don't think I could handle your winters. And how odd it would be to have the sun rising over the ocean instead of setting over it. I'd be confuzzled thing day was night. :-)Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-30380089946695903482013-01-15T09:35:03.653-08:002013-01-15T09:35:03.653-08:00Memories, that is what it is all about.

It's so nice to know folks like he.<br /><br />Your photography is always both interesting and vibrant.<br /><br />The only thing wrong here is you two live too far away.

My last trip to SF was two years ago, daughter flew on to Cleveland but due to a huge snowstorm in the Twin Cities, I used Alaska Air to Portland and spent a good part of the day there waiting for MSP to open again.<br /><br />Feels like I got to know you all much better :)<br /><br />Everyone's photos have inspired me to go back and review mine; thank you for that.Coop a.k.a.

It is nice to pay a normal price for a bottle of water as opposed to $4 for the same bottle at one of the other airports.<br /><br />I think it is always great when bloggers have the opportunity to meet. It is like we already know each other from the interweb, but to actually talk face to face is a treat.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-68566934694388408942013-01-13T09:29:15.596-08:002013-01-13T09:29:15.596-08:00Thanks for making it down for the weekend Bob and ...Thanks for making it down for the weekend Bob and for picking us up at the airport and making sure we got around town okay. <br /><br />It was a long but but we survived.

You know to protect the not so innocent.<br /><br />We really liked Sanraku - I had a great sweet potato tempura roll and a yummy cold spinach salad appetizer. I would go back again and I think Roger even went back before he left. It would have been interesting to try Brandy Ho's but it was too early for food that heavy - the gents weren't feeling well you know.<br /><br />No videos. I only took pictures and this is about all of them. One or two more form the Castro of the street or lamps, a few more on the Hornet, but that is about it.

Sanraku is a pretty good sushi place. A year ago, I went there several times but last month it wasn't as convenient to the hotel. But it was always crowded. Years ago, Brandy Ho's was one of my sisters favorite restaurants when she lived there but we usually went to another one closer to Chinatown. The food there is pretty good and nice and spicy. Not too many Hunan restaurants around.<br /><br />No videos, eh? Or are those still being held for blackmail material....RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
