San Francisco revisited (pt.I)



Took a sojourn to the west coast of the USA - Frisco - last week and came away with wonderful memories of the holiday.

The last time I saw SF was at least four years ago, and while it hasn't changed much (how much can you rebuild on 43 hills?), there are some new owners of buildings or shops from then. This time, I explored districts that were left off the agenda from previous visits, namely - the Castro, Mission, Japan town, Golden Gate Park, Nob Hill, and revisited North Beach for Cafe Triste (coffee to die for!) as well as Sushi on North Beach (an affordable and tasty Japanese joint, great sashimi!). Had a stroll around Haight Street too.

Of course, a jaunt around Union Square's shops was obligatory (the Apple store was a pilgrimage I had to make). Friends and relatives had to be accounted for where gifts were concerned.

Guess I still have a soft spot for Frisco after all these years.
