  • A day full of sightseeing. I haven't really "seen" the Bay Area (where I grew up) until Rochelle's tour. How beautiful it is. Along with good company, the day was full of boundless engery.

    CASTRO District: In the Castro
  • Tip Rating:
  • We took a tour of the Castro District and noticed this billboard for Absolut Vodka. It read "Absolut Out" with a bunch of closet doors opened. This is in reference to "coming out of the closet" or someone openly admitting they are homosexual. What a creative billboard!

    CASTRO District: Castro District

    Things To Do: Start of the Tour
  • Tip Rating:
  • Right before we went to pick up Paul from his hotel in Redwood City, we snapped one in Ro's car to commemorate the start of a good tour!

    Sausalito / Marin County: Grubbing in Sausalito (not S.F.)
  • Tip Rating:
  • We stopped at the Horizon's restaurant, right on the marina with a grand view of the Bay.
    Here Paul and Rochelle do the "romantic couple" toast.
    Service was very friendly and food wasn't bad. See Guantanamero's pages for restaurant info.

    Things To Do: Safety Tip
  • Tip Rating:
  • Do not ask drivers' to take pictures while they are driving. I thought we should get an "action" photo here while Ro is driving so she turned her head for a second to pose for the camera. Well, when you turn your head, the steering wheel tends to turn with you..and we swerved into the oncoming traffic lane a bit. Note in the foreground, there's an approaching car!! Whewww, we came out OK. Good thing we had our seat belts on!

    Golden Gate Bridge: Golden Gate
  • Tip Rating:
  • Here we are crossing the GG Bridge into Marin. The day was a bit foggy which addeds special flava' to our pictures. In a way, all the pictures turned out to be a bit "staged". You know, like when you go to a photo studio and superimpose images on your pics?

    CASTRO District: What Am I a Piece of Meat??
  • Tip Rating:
  • Back in the Castro District, we came along this burger joint called Hot and Hunky. Feeling like "meat" I posed for a picture under the canvas overhang with Rochelle's suggestion. I am so dehumanized.

    VT Meetings / Member Antics: Musashi is not too fond of the Johnny
  • Tip Rating:
  • He barked when I knocked on the door and that was not a good start. I would try to coax him to play with me but he would only run to his corner and keep his eyes peeled on the stranger. As I sat and wept, the Bulldawg still kept a close eye on me but keeping his distance. Later that night, I guess he was feeling a bit more comfortable, he did agree to sit for a photo op.
