San Francisco

Here some more photos from my San Francisco trip. Can’t wait to go back and really explore the area.

Did you say food? Of course! So many delicious things everywhere. At Scoma’s Restaurant in Sausalito, I had the lobster risotto and my friends had the Dungeness crab. Everything was delicious and the view was awesome.

Had a wonderful shrimp and grits at Brenda’s French Soul Food in San Francisco, but the Beignets were out of this world. Plain, chocolate and apple. I’d take any of them again.

I went to the Three Kings Day Parade in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami today and had a really good time. Blue sky, sunshine, friendly people, what’s not to like. Enjoy the photos.
