I took all these photos myself.

I flew out to San Francisco for a long weekend at the end of November. I had all day Monday before catching a flight home at 8:30 PM. I took a Lyft from where I was staying in Mill Valley to the Sutro Baths before taking a walk through the city. This location was in a couple key scenes in Harold and Maude

I stayed at a hostel in San Francisco the first couple nights, then at an old treehouse in Mill Valley for a couple nights. I will post more photos from the rest of my trip later.

Trip looks fun, nice pictures! Just noticed your profile says you are in Buffalo. I grew up in Bing just southeast of you! I need to make a trip out to California, I have some friends out there that love it.

Thank you! I bought a new camera just for that trip. I still have a bit to learn. I can change lenses but I haven't bought any additional ones yet. Get out there and travel! California is beautiful.

I've been to Binghampton a few times with old bands I was in. They had a pretty good punk scene in the 90's. We played at the Taz, as well as a skate park outside the city once. We played at a bar near downtown once. I don't recall the name but it was right next door to the police station. The only Binghampton bands I remember were Abalienation and Anti-Product.

It's been years since I've been out to the Cliff House and the ruins of the Sutro Baths and just looking at your few photos of the area it's conjuring up the grandness of what it used to be. The gigantic pools and the pools that were all sea water...and so many people. Must have been a sight during its day.

Well it's been almost a year since I took these photos. I really hoped to go on more trips like this in the past year. But now I'm busy working full time at least until Christmas. I'm working on an overseas trip in February.

I bought my ticket to Prague!
