On Tuesday I woke up early and walked to Coit Tower to sightsee.

Then I walked backed to Caffe Trieste for coffee…

Before spending some time in Washington Square Park.

Then I had lunch at Molinar Deli.

After spending the morning in North Beach I headed to Haight Ashbury where I popped in and out of music stores and viewed street art.

Then I walked to Castro and saw the theater.

And poked around specialty antique stores like Brand X searching for estate pieces.

As the day rolled to an end I spent a few hours in City Lights looking at books…

And lounging upstairs in the poetry room reading Joshua Beckman’s newest book “The Inside of an Apple”.

At night I went to the San Francisco Opera and saw the opening performance of Verdi’s Falstaff.
