But I was visiting Mari so that made things endurable. San Francisco was a "neat" place. I always envy cities who have the ocean near them. There was a Chinese New Year parade during my stay, a parade in the rain, of course. Chinatown there, however, was much different than what I'm used to. The Chinatown(s) here are actually for Chinese people.
This photo is us in front of the famous Citylights bookstore just off of Chinatown. Certianly one of the best bookstores I've been to, famous for its affliations with the beat generation and its small press. Raining again.
