Today we decided to simply hang out and enjoy a day in San Francisco, which included:
- The Small Dog Army at Ocean Beach (pictured above). Every Saturday at 10am, dozens of people with small dogs converge at Ocean Beach, just across from the Beach Chalet, and slowly make their way up toward the Cliff House. Amy and I don't have a small dog (or a large dog, for that matter), but we join the Army every once in a while because it's so damn entertaining. The dogs are like kids at a birthday party, hyped up on cake and ice cream and presents and cake, running around and around like mad, yipping and yapping and wrestling in the sand.
- The view from Twin Peaks, an amazing spot locals sadly cede to tourists.
- Lunch at It's Tops on Market, an diner/burger joint that dates to 1935.
- A spin around the Ferry Building and down the Embarcadero to Cupid's Span.
- And finally, a peaceful interlude at the Fort Mason Community Garden (see below) complete with hummingbirds and parrots overhead. (I overhead a guy working on his garden plot say to a woman nearby, "I stay out of the politics here." I'm glad I just visit on the weekends.)
