We're leaving on a trip to San Francisco soon, a beautiful city I lived in for
11 years before moving back to New York... "Why did you move back?", people often ask... well, that's another story for another time.
So last night when I thought I was tuning into
Amazing Race, which was pushed back due to football running late, I caught the end of a story on
60 Minutes (an old favorite) about a man who recently found an old film, shot in San Francisco on Market Street only days before the 1906 Earthquake destroyed most of the city...
A week later this happened...
...eerie, really eerie and sad, and a little scary since I wasn't thinking about earthquakes, only thinking about visiting my favorite spots, seeing old friends and of course eating my way through what I believe is the best city to enjoy a myriad of fantastically creative ethnic and fresh American cooking and not break the bank, like in NY.
I experienced 3 earthquakes in California while living there... two in SF and one in LA. I'll be taking lots of photos and will write about the trip when I return.
Many new ideas come from California, a place where experimentation is the norm.
