Christian has started to post batches of our pictures from our first week in San Francisco on Flickr! So far, we have all his aerial photos from the plane, which have been geomapped to confirm what they are.

Next, photos of a Filipino festival that was happening in Yerba Gardens when we first arrived in San Francisco off the BART and walked there from Union Square. We were wearing all our stuff in backpacks and we were literally the only non-Asian people there.

Then, pictures of our time in Japantown – the annual Nihonmachi Street Fair was going on there while we were staying there, which is part of the reason we went to San Francisco when we did. We stayed in the Hotel Tomo that first night, which was a special modern Japanese styled hotel. This was the nicest hotel we stayed in during our time in San Francisco, and also the most expensive!

More to come…
