I spent a very enjoyable several days in San Francisco the week before Thanksgiving. Here is the first in a series of galleries featuring photographs from that trip.

Starting at the entrance gate on Grant Street, Chinatown starts with lots of tourist oriented shops, but gets more interesting the further up the street you walk. A park was alive with the local Chinese community that Sunday afternoon as the relaxed, played card and board games, and listened to a group of musicians playing traditional Chinese instruments. Elsewhere, the sidewalks and markets teamed with people shopping for produce, fish, other foodstuffs, and lunch.
