Our first night in San Francisco saw us across Mason Street and a block further north, here…


We had a delicious meal – sweet yam fries (yum), buttermilk biscuits (double yum), jumbalya (Russ), spinach salad with chicken (me), Anchor Steam beer (Russ) and Sierra Nevada pale ale (me). Then we stopped to listen to the Bay City Blues Band. They offered ear plugs at the entrance. That aside, they were a fabulous, generous band that gave it their all and more. With a female vocalist not pictured below.

Afterwards we wandered round to Union Square, down to and along Market Street and then wound our way back to the hostel.
