San Francisco
We spent a July weekend in San Francisco for our friends' wedding. The day before the wedding, we walked from our hotel through Chinatown down to the water and back.
Was it the light? The Pacific air? Or was I just happy to be on vacation? Everything seemed more bright and beautiful than usual.
We bought water yo-yos in Chinatown and played with them obsessively all day. They had little dinosaurs inside them.
In our frantic efforts to escape the aggressive commercialism of Fisherman's Wharf, we burst out and saw ... Sea lions! Who knew? They weren't here when I first came to San Francisco at age 12. They've been visiting the wharf since 1989.
