My last visit to San Francisco took place five years ago when I attended the American Library Association’s annual conference. I stayed at the Hyatt Regency near the Embarcadero Center. While it was a nice location and a very nice hotel, I did have to walk pretty far to get to my meetings. Nevertheless, I had a great time. I spent some time with my friends Mary, Alex and Karen. I also got to see the gay pride parade and Steve Grand, a gay singer whose music I really like. I also visited the Mission District and took pictures of many of the murals. On my last day, I ventured over to the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, where I went record shopping. I went to several conference meetings and saw Nancy Pelosi speak too. I’ll add more later, but for now, here are some of the photos I took during the trip and a few I added from other sources.
