San Francisco
"I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hill it calls to me.
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care.
My love waits there in San Francisco, above the blue and windy sea,
When I come home to you, San Francisco, your golden sun will shine for me."
We invaded Dustin and my brother's house for close to two weeks and explored as much of this wonderful city as possible ... from Chinatown to the Castro and Twin Peaks to Golden Gate Park.
Pedestrians in the Castro. (Unlike other West Coast US cities, it's easy to get around without a car.)

World Famous Golden Gate Bridge.

You should always be wary of what lurks in the bushes.
Alcatraz Island.
On a sunny day, we took my brother's hawk kite to the park.
Gavin with the kite in a field of wildflowers.
Watch out Gavin! The hawk will attack!
