I had a request for some Chistmas photos again, but we only have a few this year, though we did keep up our usual traditions: Christmas 2009.
We did our usual trip to the beach, but this time it was on Christmas Eve, in a gap in the rain storm schedule.
Using public transit this time, we:
- road the the N across town to the end of the line
- stopped at the Java Beach cafe (just across the road from the beach)
- took our time walking north a few miles along the surf of the sandy Ocean Beach--
huge numbers of surfers were out, and up on their boards moving around, not
just floating around waiting for waves.
- wound our way up into the hills on an odd trail we'd never used, going between
cyprus trees and a dilapidated fence festooned with graffiti murals.
- walked through Sutro park (across the road from the Cliff House) passed the statue of Diana
- hopped the 38 Geary bus, to head back across town...
- stopped off in Japantown where we discovered the
joys of the J-town crepes (black sesame gelato with banana slices, ah...).
On Christmas day itself, we:
- did a gift opening ceremony under the tree
- once again went out for Vietnamese Crab on Clement Street, in the Richmond district
- after checking the Sweets Cafe and finding it totally slammed, we fell back to
a different Japanese desert place (a Quickly), where we drank some hot Jasmine bubble teas,
and read a few manga they had around, hanging around with a few groups of degenerate asian teens.
- then at midnight, it was the main event: a gathering of Cowboy Beebop nerds at the Bridge Theater,
(where we at long last got to see the tragic conclusion...).
A few photos, huddling under our Christmas tree at home:
