SF Adventure and fashion on the streets!

Back from our trip to San Francisco, we caught lots of fashion on the street! Here are just a few of what I saw. More in store!

This photo is taken while waiting in line to eat at the delicious Dottie’s restaurant!  This couple met 40 years ago and live in Thailand.  He’s a retired surgeon and she is a fashionable woman who loves the culture of San Francisco!

These 2 are new friends. The one on the left actively brands the Tenderloin District while Laura loves science and fashion.

This is Fefe, French rapper who was in town recording an album with Dan the Automator. After the bar closed and the Mission was empty, I snapped this photo after speaking French with Fefe for a long time.
