Painting the Town: Street Artists Bomb the Bay
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 30 April 2010
One of the nice things about living in the Bay Area is that people come here. Just, you know, to visit.

Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 28 May 2008
We have enjoyed our recent trips to the left coast so much that we decided to plan an action-packed Memorial Day getaway out west.
