David on the Castro!  Incidentally, that "Hot Cookie" sign is for a shop that sells cookies.  Curiously, mine was not hot, but it was tasty.

Me under a giant statue of Sun Yat Sen.  Amusingly, my camera's face detection picked up his face, not mine :-)

Inside the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory!  The flat cookies come out of the machine and then are twisted and folded by hand.  We had a fresh one, and it was quite tasty.

The San Francisco MUNI had this very cool display of where all the trains/streetcars were.  Actually, even the buses are all GPS-enabled - you can see how long until they'll be at your stop by going to a website!
