Hello my fellow stay-at-homers – today we’re off to California through our San Francisco photo essay!
As I’ve written before, few cities in the world can match San Francisco’s beautiful setting…43 hills at the tip of a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by the bay and ocean, all compacted into an area of only about 49 square miles. And it’s a city overflowing with postcard views.
It’s also a city of great world-class restaurants (venture beyond popular North Beach and Chinatown for some gastronomic surprises) and world-class museums. The latter includes a collection of outstanding fine art museums other cities can only dream of. (At the other end of the scale I did find the Cable Car Museum fascinating).

Speaking of ethnicity, it’s a little-known fact that it was a Japanese resident of San Francisco who invented the Chinese fortune cookie. Go figure…
