A Gastronomic Adventure

Last Thursday, summer school ended.  Next Monday the Fall semester begins.  So, since flights were cheap and our friends are plentiful in the bay area, we booked a last minute weekend trip to San Francisco where we ate and ate and walked around just as much.  Thank goodness for the sunshine in the Mission.
