Summer Has Arrived

Love taking the cable car to lunch. This is one of the joys of working in the heart of the Financial District. Hopped on a car and rode it all the way down to the Embarcadero, where I met up with Ken and Ellie for a long lunch at the Ferry Building. Summer has definitely arrived. The sun and the crowds were out in full force today. Conversation at lunch was fun and lighthearted, and the grilled burgers at Taylor's Refresher rocked! We were very tempted to knock off the day and just lounge at one of the busy outdoor cafes in North Beach. Viewing the parade of pedestrians walking by our table at Taylor's was an activity in and of itself. Indeed, people-watching in San Francisco is almost on par with people-watching in any of the European capitals including Paris and London. And with Ellie's upbringing in Rome, we had a true afficianado of the art form to provide us expert color commentary.
