Sunset Farmer’s market -
Getting There
The Merced Branch of the San Francisco Public Library system is 1/2 block from the 28, K buses. Right acrossed from the Stonestown mall. There is plenty of street parking with 2 car parking for 10 minutes.
What is different?
One standout of this library is the central garden space with maple trees and 5 benches. On this sunny Saturday, taking a book outside to read without checking out the book is a great way to spend 2-3 hours browsing and reading books. There is 1 aisle worth of Chinese fiction and non-frictions books.
Interior
There is a nice fireplace with 6 comfy leather seats. A lot of 4 top tables spread a crossed the library. It’s a single floor library with almost 1/3 of the space devoted to childrens area and a small teen section.
Noise
A lot of kids, so expect noise around level 5 out of 10.

Our new Salmon Fiesta dish is as good as it looks. Enjoy six pieces of wild king salmon sashimi wrapped in cucumber and mango, served with sweet vinaigrette. It’s a refreshing and delightful way to begin your dining experience. And if salmon isn’t your favorite fish, the dish is also available with tuna or yellowtail.
Which fish would you try it with?–

This truck was parked on 14th and Folsom intersection. I love the fluid lines and the vivid colors.

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 views of the City and the row of six beautifully restored Victorians nicknamed the Painted Ladies. The west side of the park allows dogs off-leash. Between Fulton, Hayes, Steiner and Scott streets.
Don’t miss the mysterious “shoe garden” on one side of the gardeners’ shed in the middle of the park. It was created by the park’s gardener, who kept finding shoes among the park trash and hated to throw them out. He arranged them on top of logs and placed the logs around a flower bed, then planted the shoes with flowers. Now people drop off pairs of shoes with hopes of finding them sprouting later.

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 need to leave?’
Could the SF Mission area be a mini-Manhattan?

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.

if I don’t loose my curiosity and passion for what I am doing and where I live, I will constantly find jems and little moments of joy.
My favorite spot here in the city

nice shot. it’s important to slow down and enjoy the little things in life. on my way to and from school, i always ride my bike past one corner where the air is thick and sweet from a fruit tree. i still can’t figure out which tree it is, but i always take a slow and deep breath to savor the moment.
