San Francisco, CA
Climbing hilly streets in San Francisco, sipping tea in coffee shops and drinking coffee in tea shops. I liked Rani's reflection in her glasses.
Found the painted lady houses but I've been ruined living in an old house too long and can only see what a nightmare they would be to paint. We walked through Haight Ashbury and then spent yesterday afternoon in the SF Museum of Modern Art. I felt so incredibly lucky to find that the special exhibition was on photography especially Henri Cartier Bresson. Wow.
My daughter does the travel research and I am happy to be led to her discoveries when we are together. We found a Burmese restaurant Monday night and French Vietnamese last night. I believe she has an Ethiopian dinner planned for this evening. The best thing is, she actually has a job now and I am not paying for every meal. Miracles happen!
Enjoyed your text about the daughter. Cool shots too.
ReplyDeleteCool shots. Sounds like you are having a great time.
ReplyDeleteI adore the architecture!! I do.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter got a job this fall. Marvelous! I understand your feelings. Nice photos. Glad you are enjoying your visit and touring a great city.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of traveling. As a photographer, I always want to see something new. As part of the Gigats community, I do photography in exchange of other services, such as housekeeping and web designing. Well, I must say that my travel now does not only benefit my passion but as well as our Gigats review book, to be released online next year. It's just nice to do things our of passion and getting several "thank you" from people. Just like how you consider your daughter's job as a miracle, this is my version of it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've hit the photographers architectural mother lode. SF is like that. :)

ReplyDeleteWe used to live in a painted lady, I did so enjoy painting all the intricate spindles on the front porch! Took awhile, but the end result was so worth it!
Heading home to the lowcountry! Whatever made me book a 6 am flight?! Yawn.
