San Francisco Treat

(December 28th) Not sure if anyone remembers those old Rice-a-Roni commercials... I'm in California for over a week to take some pictures of elephant seals. But before doing that, I spent a few days with some friends having a blast in San Francisco and San Jose. Special thanks to the friend who let me stay for a couple of days before heading down to San Simeon. After some delicious Dim Sum (one of my favorites), we walked around town quite a bit. At Fisherman's Wharf we saw one of the sourdough bread bakers creating some amazing edible animals.

After Fisherman's Wharf, we headed over the Haight Ashbury. The clothing you can get here is more diverse than anything I've seen anywhere else. They have vintage clothing to designer stuff to stuff you couldn't even imagine. Just walking around the streets you see the personality of the district everywhere, with decorations like this pair of legs.

Of course we needed more food! So we headed a ways north to stop at a great sushi restaurant. They made food, like this roll, that was so beautiful it was almost a shame to eat it. The sushi boat we got was enormous and a delcious end to a fun-filled day.
