Meet SF Tourism Board's latest recruits...
I'm beginning to wonder if you two are moonlighting for the local tourism board. You're doing a pretty good job of making SF sound as though it should be on the 'to do' list! :-)

San Francisco is an amazing town. I'm a city girl so living in a place like this makes me very, very happy. There is always something to do. This town has a great vibe.

Alcatraz
San Francisco is awesome. I visited there in 2009 and wished I had more time to tour the city. The weather was outstanding, given I had just a weekend, I opted to go to Alcatraz.

Alcatraz is a great tour
The city and the area have so much to offer.

Hello JoAnne
Good hearing from you again. There is so much to do out this way. This area is perfect for an RV. Napa, Calistoga, Tahoe, SF, Up the coast to Mendicino and down the coast to Big Sur & LA. The Reno balloon festival is a lot of fun....not sure if you read that blog. Head west again.

Hi MJ....Although I spent my college years in Berkeley (and many weekend evenings in the city) I didn't see a fraction of what you two have seen and done in 6 or so months. I've always loved the Bay Area and still hope to visit while you are still there. Remind me...when are you next traveling, and will you be back in SF after your trip?

I see!
Your shots of the deer in Muir Woods reveal that you had the best vantage point. So enjoyed our mini travels and wish we had several more weekends to spend exploring with you!

The soul of a city can be heard in its music...seems you are captivated by the SF beat...and its sweet blues!

I just read your last three blogs and they make me look forward to running around listening to street musicians, people-watching in Venice and relaxing in Tahoe (if we can squeeze all of these trips in). Looking forward to the next one! :)

Go back a bit
If you check out some from last fall you will find the drive north to Mendicino, Angel Island and the drive south to San Luis Obispo. So much to see and to do. See you soon.

Didn't know you were a SAX player, how cool. Dave plays guitar. Have you been to Yap or Palau? We are going in 2014.
