This morning we took the Alameda ferry across the bay to visit San Francisco proper. We walked around near the ferry as a group. A friend from GR happened to be in the Mission neighborhood so when the group headed to a mall to evade rain, I headed off to see my friend Tory.
We basically wandered around from yummy spot to more deliciousness with a kind guide of a friend who knows food. MmmmTartine had yummy things that I could eat! And to think my vanity almost kept me from asking.

knife sharpening (of course we went in, I’m with food friends!)

Final stop before the train, all the good smells meet us at the sidewalk. And I learned a new word: loroco = squash blossom. Pupusas topped with curtido whilst a man serenades from the doorway.
Hopped back on the BART train and headed to an evening in Berkeley.
