San Francisco August 2022

 Quick trip to San Francisco.

I had not been to San Francisco since being in the Bay to Breakers race in 2016.

Some of the pictures here are of the same places I took pictures of in 2016. 
Some things are simply worth doing again.

Alcatraz

I don't usually post pictures of meals, but this was so good.
Cioppino's in Fisherman's Wharf area.

This is an absolute must see.
If you have not been there, go this year.

I don't know if you have ever heard of the "Lockpicking Lawyer". 
I'm thinking he could open all of these in under 30 minutes.

This was not pre-planned, but this is nearly the same picture I took in 2016.
It's all about perspective.

Lombard Street

The carousel at Pier 39

Pier 39

I still have not been on one of these but they are fun to watch.

There were not as many sealions as when I visited in 2016.

"This is the city"

Yeah ok - I know Joe Friday was in LA not San Francisco. 

San Diego June 2022

 Photos from a quick trip to San Diego in June 2022.

I had not been to San Diego since August 2016.  Even though I had been to these places previously it was fun to revisit them.

No trip to San Diego is complete without visiting the Zoo.  
I opted to keep my fingers outside of the chain-link fence....

Reminds me of the Ant and The Aardvark
(even though this is an anteater)

Ahhh....

It has been a while since I have seen a lotus/lily pond.
