I left my heart in San Francisco.......really.......

I love San Francisco! Even as a kid, I loved going 'into the City' for whatever, visiting the Wharf, shopping at the outlets, eating, visiting the SFMOMA (spectacular!), wandering around the Marina district, hanging out at the Farmer's Market....it all appeals to me in a great big way! And, yesterday was a two fold trip.....Roomie and I headed into "The City" to visit with an old friend of her's, a lovely guy who she has reconnected with after many years and to see Tangobaby's photograph exhibit! Plus, eat a great meal and play with my new camera!

After arriving, we decompressed for a short while and then headed out for an Italian meal.....I had a serious hankering for some 'city' Italian.....we were not disappointed:

(Hummmmmmmm)

And for Dessert:

The most amazing French Macaron's I've ever had in my life.....I've shared here before, but, when I find a food item I love, I sort of get a little carried away and decide I have to "master" their creation, looks like French Macaron is on the agenda.....

We walked to the restaurant from Friend's house....the neighborhood was once a bad part of town, but, over the course of a few years it's been restored to a new glory and I thoroughly enjoyed our walk through, using, of course, my new baby! The evening lighting was killing me and I just could not hold my pleasure back in capturing these images......










Not only were me and my Baby, clicking (get it, 'clicking'?), but, me and The City were, too! I love all of the ornate work on the old (and repro) Victorians.....the hum of S.F. is palpable and I was really feeling it last night.










After our dinner, dessert and a pit stop, we headed out to meet Tangobaby and see her exhibit.... I love her S.F.: I Live Here project, check it out, her work is amazing! And, like any rabid adoring fan, I insisted requested to have our photo taken together....she was very gracious and we asked her friend Chipmonkey to take our picture:

While on our pit stop earlier in the evening I took advantage, once again of the magnificent view from Friend's home and played with my new VR lens....and look what happened!

All in all, a splendid adventure.....what a day....Roomie and I had a heinously awesome time! Someday, when I grow up and quit being a pansy ass, I just might move to S.F. and live there, too!

Peace
