Blog

It is Friday. It is sunny. And Jeff is home from almost two weeks in China. 🙂

For those of you who haven’t checked out Jeff’s blog this week, today is the day. Jeff has posted some of his pictures from Beijing, including three fascinating shots of his walk through a local market. For me, these shots are just so foreign, particularly when you compare them with my shots of Paris. I just have no reference for everyday life in China.

(By the way…just a hint. If you COMMENT on Jeff’s blog, he may be more motivated to post more pictures 🙂

…that the Governor of Idaho is Butch Otter. Maybe it was the caffine, but that factoid made me giggle.

This my final post of the weekend…but I could't help but give well-deserved kudos to Firefly, a cozy restaurant in Noe Valley.

The menu boldly states that their fried chicken is the best you have ever tasted. Well, bravo, Firefly. This is damn good chicken. A leg…moist. A breast…very moist. And a thight…my favorite piece…perfect. Very well seasoned.

Was it the 'best'? Well, my dad's fried chicked will always be the best…but this is the best I have had in San Francisco by far!

It didn't hurt that our bartender was super friendly. (Yes, we sat at the bar, because we didn't have a reservation.) He recommended great wine, offered mouth-watering descriptions of the house specialties, and recomended an amazing chocolate cake for desert.

My quiet weekend at home (combined with Jeff being away traveling) gave me a chance to work on some photos from Paris. Hey, its only been six weeks?

As I worked on this first set, I realized that they are all fairly iconic. They are from our first couple of days in the city, when everywhere you turn there is a must-see vista. So, I don’t think that I need to write captions for these…no need to point out the Eiffel Tower or the immediately-recognizable gargoyles of Notre Dame. I’ll just let the images speak for themselves.
