Ben is back.

Short recap of the last couple of days...

Thursday-Friday: Joe Epling came down from Sac-Town to visit us. Friday hit up Rei de Gado... Nothing good ever comes from that place!

I don't want to go to Rei de Gado again. Joe doesn't agree.

Friday night I departed for San Francisco...

After we dropped off my stuff and I got changed, Grace and I walked the short
distance up Fillmore to Sheba Lounge for drinks and entertainment.
Lucky for us Ricardo Scales was performing again!

Saturday
Grace and I went to Union Square (I went to Calumet by myself before
this... more to come from that later) I was able to replace my beloved
wallet as it had seen better days.


We then went to Crissy Field to enjoy the beautiful day.

After Crissy Field we decided to make dinner and have an Italy night (dinner and a movie, "The Roman Holiday")

The spread, Spaghetti Carbonara, Caprese salad, a heff and some vino.

Sunday we watched "The Time Traveler's Wife" which was just OK.
We dropped by Fatlace so I could buy some new gear.
Afterwards, we headed to St. Dominic's for the afternoon mass.

For dinner Grace took me to San Tung, where there was an hour wait to eat inside!
She insisted I had to try the Dried Fried Chicken so we ordered take out.
OMG it is so amazing!

Dried, fried Calamari!

Dried, fried Chicken!

And finally, what did I come home with?

From Calumet I bought a Canon E-1 hand strap and a ET-65III hood for my EF 85mm f/1.8 lens.

From Louis Vuitton I purchased a graphite Damier small wallet (to match my iPhone case)
