Here's a great article from our local newspaper on touring around those who are on their first visit to San Francisco

I started out the San Francisco pages by focusing on the peace and love aspects that so typify Northern California. Over time these pages have morphed to include touristy photo-shoots with VT friends, and THE BIG SAN FRANCISCO VT BLOWOUT in February '03. See Travelogues for my photos of that event.

    A city with a varied culture for sure. I traveled here 10+ times and always something different to see and appreciate.

    San Francisco truly has its share of 'local color', but I guess that's why people love it so much! Thanks for the tips, Jessica...Regards from Texas

    You think THEY settled on a fair price yet? Among the b-day wishes was a starter set of real knives I can take when we travel. Got JA Henckels Pro Series. Let's start a cooking club after the holidays!

    Hi Jessica, talking about food looking good, That steak looks awesome from Jardinier. I'm a vegetarian but when a good piece of meat comes along like that I might let guilt slide for just one bite!
