Sweet treat on Columbus

Pastry shop on Columbus Ave in SF Little Italy. And they have the illusive sfogliatella .... thank you Stella!
The park

Requisite mid-city park littered with semi-clothed sun bathers, laptopped hipsters, finely aged citizens, and the down trodden. Truly a gathering of all sorts.
Where have you gone ...

Hey Simon, Garfunkel ... he's right here! And oh that Lombard street ... twists and turns a gogo.
Cable Car turn around

The corner of Taylor & Bay in the touristy Fisherman's Wharf area. Wandered around and landed here. Why not take the ride back up the hill.
Cable Car loading and unloading please

In the shadow of Union Square a man waits for a ride.

Hole in the wall

Small shop serving delicious hand held savory pies. $4 for a delicious filling treat.
New Tree = clean california vibe

Beautiful shop. Very "natural" and they have vegan baked goods. Didn't need the sugar but the macaroon was damn good.
Free Wi-Fi chill vibe. Great find.
Philz phenomenon

Interesting take on the whole coffee shop phenomena... slow order, slow drip, great experience.
Nonblack-dogs and madness.

Whoa nelly. Not sure I've ever ridden on the greyhound. Holy jeebus its a different world.

Switch from bus to train.

Caltrain ... screw the bus. No traffic concerns. Boom. Slight delay because we missed the 1pm train.
Transfer to light rail ...

The adventure continues as we switch modes again to get to the hotel/stadium. Packed but honestly not insane. Americans in the west demand so much personal space it guarantees you'll rarely beOkumaya devam et

Checked in and dropped of the bags. On the the pre-game parties.
AO party

Great party by AO San Jose chapter. Fun to see all of the other chapters with a presence. Shout out to my boys from AOPHX - bummer that the scarves didn't arrive in time fellas.
