Murals! where? everywhere! walls, streets, signs, windows. keep your eyes peeled. I walk a lot in San Francisco and always seem to find new murals in the least expected places. They are a constant source of inspiration, and make me wish I could paint worth a damn.

Dense eucalyptus forest on a hill. Great hike on foggy San Francisco days.

Perfect spot If you need to get work done while enjoying a latté. Always plenty of space.

Fancy fusion Omakase with local ingredients. If you feel like treating yourself. delicious!

Adobe Bookshop brings me much happiness. Not only are there a zillion wonderful used books of all kinds, there is the man behind the books, Andrew McKinley. He is the heart and soul, and his wise, welcoming and super fun personality draws all sorts of colorful characters to gather and be eccentric.
