A Tourist in San Francisco, Day 1

 Sept. 20, 2025

Northeast Waterfront District, San Francisco

I'm in my part-time home tonight and all is well. I don't know this neighborhood at all, but it's relatively quiet and safe on a Saturday afternoon. The apt. is really small. I couldn't find a place for Archer's crate until I moved some furniture around. It's full of art pieces and lots of interesting things to look at. I brought apples from my backyard to have with cheese and some Seavey Chardonnay for dinner. I'm pretending I'm on vacation in Paris, but really, San Francisco is very charming in its own right.

Here's an informal dog park near the Embarcadero piers. The evening light on FIDI is pretty and you can see a bit of the Bay Bridge in the distance. Surprising the park was empty at 6:00 on a Saturday night.

Who's in town for the weekend? This yacht must be worth a mint. It's complete with a helicopter on the bow and was put in place by two tugboats. Nobody emerged to invite me to a cocktail hour.

Now I'm excited! A book faire before I attend the Salesforce Park production of Othello at 7:00. Plenty to do in the city.
