A couple weekends ago, I escaped the heat and wildfire smoke with a group of girlfriends. We spent a deliciously cool couple of days in SFO’s Japantown, staying at the Kabuki and getting a year’s worth of dead skin cells scrubbed off across the street at Pearl Spa. Appetite piqued, we ambled through Japan Center and ate yummy ramen, ice cream taiyaki, and mochi doughnuts. We dropped in at the Kinokuniya bookstore (the 8th wonder of the world) and its sister pen and paper store, Maido. We walked it all off at the San Francisco Botanical gardens, where I took a lot of photos. I’m still learning how to use my camera and compose photos, so in general I only turn out decent abstract shots of landscapes and buildings. But since that’s what I like anyway, I’m happy.
