Lake Merced is perhaps one of the best jogging trails in San Francisco along with the Golden Gate Bridge trail.

The best place to park at Ocean Beach during a busy summer day is on the Great Highway, where you can access the “non-busy” part of Ocean Beach.
Well, I took the liberty of taking some colorful pictures of the unique little houses on the Great Highway on our way back from the Beach Trip. Btw, if you have 2 or 3 story house, you get a very nice ocean view.
But don’t let the size full you, each of these houses are probably more than $1-2 million if you wanted to buy one.
Well, the other day was the hottest day in San Francisco with temperature reaching up to 94 degrees fahrenheit.
One thing about weather in San Francisco is that it can suddenly go from 94 degrees to 70 degrees in matter of minutes like it did today. The fog came over Sunset district in matter of minutes and the temperature just dropped like that.
I am glad I did go take my tent to the Ocean Beach the other day though, proud to say that I was the only person with a “real” tent. It tooks me about 10 minutes to set it up since I haven’t used tents in like 10 years.
Here’s some shots of Ocean Beach you can enjoy. It was very beautiful and unreal as the ocean mist (as you can see in the pics) covered the whole beach.
These are times I love living in San Franciso. I took a nice 2 hour nap while hearing the ocean waves, of course in my nice cozy tent.
(This is the big tower that you can see from everywhere in San Fran, which is right next to Twin Peaks)
Well, I did take some good photos so I made some 1600×1200 pixel Twin Peaks Desktop Wallpapers for all you San Francisco lovers.
I love San Fran, don’t you?
Here’s some free pictures you can use as your PC Desktop Wallpaper even if you don’t live in San Francisco or you haven’t been here to Twin Peaks SF:

Well, today I had chance to go take a panoramic picture of one of San Francisco’s highest peaks, the Twin Peaks.
I didn’t do a super great job of Photoshopping the pics but at least you can enjoy 270 degree view of San Francisco from one of the highest points in San Fran.

There are a lot of piers at the Fisherman’s Wharf. But Pier 39 is undeniably the most fun place to hang out.
Pier 39 pretty much consists of bunch of little mom and pop shops, aquarium, and some other tourist attractions. You can enlarge on the above picture to see the whole directory.
Here’s a look into what it looks like when you enter:
A word of warning about Pier 39, DO NOT GOTO Bubba Gump restaurant! It is the worst-tasting seafood at FIsherman’s Wharf! Although I do love the movie, Forrest Gump, Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant is like the horror-movie of San Francisco seafood. (I believe they are still in business due to all the new tourists who don’t know how the food tastes…)
Like I said before on the previous post, you need to go to Nick’s Lighthouse, not a fancy schmazy Hollywood bs marketing.
Well, since I do live in San Francisco, I do get to enjoy a lot of what San Francisco has to offer. One of the best places to hang out on a sunny day is Fisherman’s Wharf.
Located on the northern shores of San Francisco, Fisherman’s Wharf is a definite must-see hang out for any tourists. A lot of bay area San Francisco residents also do love to hang out here including myself.
I get a kick out of the fact that I can be a tourist in my own city.
So today, I decided to bring bunch of my friends and family for a nice stride.
Yes, we were there at SF Lovefest 2007! Yey! You can check out all our photos during the Lovefest 2007 on SFBlogg Flickr.
The tightest part was that there were about 7 or 8 stages, each with its own DJs, right in front of the SF City Hall. We’ve also noticed that some politicians were actually sponsoring this event. I don’t remember the Politician’s name but…we had a great time!
Next year, you better go if you don’t want to miss out on the crazy fun love at Lovefest San Francisco.
We will also show you some cool video clips we took at Lovefest this year.
Here’s how to relax and get a free “sand massage” on Ocean Beach.
The thing people don’t realize about Ocean Beach is that the sand gets super “HOT” whenever there’s sun. You can actually take all your clothes off and ly there and still feel hot when the air is only at 70 degrees fahrenheit due to the temperature of the sand.
How to relax and get a free “sand massage”?
1. Go to Ocean Beach on a sunny San Francisco day. Take Muni, ride a bike, motorcycle, or just drive there. (Like me…smart huh?)
2. Lay down in your comfortable clothes. (Lay down about 50 yards from the actual ocean… find a quiet spot on the beach)
3. Wear a baseball hat. (Actually, use it to block the sun.)
4. Apply sun block. (I prefer non-allergenic ones like Bull-Frog is good.)
5. Relax and try to hear the sound of the waves.
The thing about Ocean Beach, is that although your body will heat up due to the high temperatures of the sand, you will feel the ocean breeze at your nose-tips cooling you down.
Basically, your back heats up while your body heat is absorbed by the ocean wind. Which is the best thing about San Fran in general… (The best days I feel is the sunny day with slight wind, flirting at you of course…)

If you are in San Francisco ever, you need to check out the cool street artists at Fisherman’s Wharf. There’s great stores including cheap jewerly, chinese knock-off handbags, street human robots, great seafood (If you like crabs, this is the place to go), the best clam chowder in the world, and this cool Spray Paint Artist who will spray, burn, and make these awesome artwork. (I bought one for like $5) Oh yeah, there’s Hooters restaurant at the wharf if you are into good barbeque wings.
