Wandering SF
Blessed to have an extra day off recently; spent part of the day wandering San Francisco with an old friend. I have family in SF, so know the city ok. Parts anyway. But this area we wandered recently - my buddy’s neighborhood - I’m not so familiar. Gotta say, so SO much cool stuff in …
