Day 1 - Where the boys are

Flew to San Francisco Sunday night, November 18. Am spending the week at Shani and Michael's new home in the Castro. The Castro is the heart of San Fran's gay community. It's a very vibrant neighborhood, but it's gay to an extent that makes 8th Avenue in Chelsea or Christopher St. in Greenwich Village seem mixed.

Had breakfast on Monday at the Cove on Castro, walked over to the Mission. Later Shani and I had a drink at Harvey's, a bar named after Harvey Milk (the first openly gay elected official in a major US city who was assassinated by a political opponent).

Nice view of the city from Mission Dolores Park.
