Random Bits of Information

A new friend that I met in Orlando this year, Pam Fox, was in California to visit her family and asked if I could meet with her to talk about her website.  Pam is a lovely person. She is opening two stores where she lives in Florida as well as maintaining her staging business. Of course I wanted to have lunch with Pam while she was in the area, and where better than in San Francisco?!

Pam's son lives near Golden Gate Park, so I was looking for an internet cafe near there.  I was not successful, but I did find Golden Gate Perk, which is located near the entrance to Chinatown.  It was a very relaxed atmosphere, perfect for talking about websites and getting reacquainted.  The staff is very friendly.  You can even rent a computer if your laptop is not available.

Golden Gate Perk is also a Korean deli and coffee shop.  I tried the Bibimbop pictured here.  It is brown rice with 7 different vegetables and an egg on top.  It was so simply delicious I wondered why I don't eat this healthy all of the time.  Then I remembered, it is because I'm lazy.  Pam tried the beef curry and said it was delicious as well.

Since we were so close to Chinatown, my mother decided we needed to shop for silk jackets.  Pam came along and we spent some time shopping together. San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest Chinatown outside of Asia and is also the oldest Chinatown in North America.  It is one of San Francisco's top attractions.

Here is my mother, Terrylynn, with Pam:

Here Pam and I made a new friend.  He was in the shop and saw us taking photos, so he decided to join us:

So a day in the city with a new friend, talking about websites and shopping.  That was a good day!  I came home with a new silk jacket and silk shirt as a bonus. The only down-side was that Rhiannon was still away at camp... she loves Chinatown and is very unhappy that we went without her!
