    I was playing tourist again in San Francisco and saw this Alamo Square Park Shoe Garden. It’s amazing how many little things I still have not seen in this greatest city (next to Paris) in the world. From sfgate.com: Alamo Square Park: One of the most photographed spots in San Francisco, thanks to the breathtaking…

    I overheard a young 20 something dude talking at Ritual Coffee. “I don’t ever leave the Mission, maybe someday I’ll explore Berkeley” It reminds me of a Sex and City episode where the Manhattan Guy says to Carrie or Maranda that he ‘never leaves the island because everything is available in Manhattan, why do we…

    (you can click on the photo enlarge) I love the night scene in large cities.  It feels so alive, filled with the energy of human beings, full of lights and cars.  I’m on my bike over to the SF Metreon and looking at the sureal lights of the SF MOMA.

    I was in Barcelona for 4 days and finally am back at the mothership in Paris. If you thought SF was pretty crazy about food, Barcelona kicks everyone’s butt when it comes to food (even NY). The people here love to eat and it shows. There are restaurants that are named ‘White’, places that have…

    I’ve been late getting on the Battlestar Galactica bandwagen. Awsome shows btw, downloaded via iTunes. I’ve come to accept the fact that humans make mistakes and it has helped me several times during this trip in Europe. 1) I wanted a ticket from Paris to Nice and this man said they are fully booked. I…

    Taking a 2 week trip in Tuscany this week, a few ramblings. 1) Cappuccino is first in the world here in Italy, sweet necter of espresso with the right amount of milk makes a smooth drink that none can rival.  There is no pretentious baristas, they just plain know to do it right. 2) Straight…

    Mission accomplished: 1) kate and I survived Paris and she was happy and content to have been with me for 2 1/2 weeks. Her mom said she has been very sweet. For all dads out there, leaving your 5 year old for 2 months, leaves them missing you a lot. 2) My house in Castro…
