Not many parking lots have a view like this.

I think this is the first wild deer I’ve ever seen?

A strange little building near the lighthouse at Pt Reyes.

My first actual beach experience in California… a year after moving here.

This has *never* been done before!

Inside a hotel suite?! Seriously.

The Martinis were poured through the ice, so that they were cooled by the time they got to your glass down the bottom.

Hustlin’ at pool again?

Thanks Ray

Down at the pool

Ray and Doan got a little excited when I pulled Twinkies out of my pockets, so they threw them at each other and smeared them on each other’s faces… strange, strange kids.

Every time I turned around, someone let off a cool firework right behind me – I *finally* caught one, with the tree wrapped in Christmas lights in the foreground.

Not Alcatraz, I mean the *other* island.

Outside my bedroom window

There was too much excitement going on at the Gay Pride Parade for this little trooper – she flagged early.

Showing their support

That’s unprotected anal-sex for those who were wondering.

Sort of. From the heavy steel door on the side of the recreation yard on Alcatraz, this is the view… amazing.

Strange machinery near Jack London Square.

Heading back to SF on the ferry

There are lots of stairs on Alcatraz. From the dock to the prison is the equivalent of a 13-storey building apparently.

This building burned down during the Indian occupation of Alcatraz (after it closed as a prison)

As seen from Alcatraz

BART stations are currently dominated (like the rest of San Francisco) with iPod advertising.

He got pizza. Drunk Toph likes pizza. Pizza good.

No one wants photos right now, they just want a taxi so they can get home.

Trying not to attract to much attention to herself at Delerium.

At Delerium. We were the entertainment.

At Hemlock

The flags at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, with the American flag atop the Mark Hopkins in the background.

Newlyweds indeed. Brian looks just a *little* bit happy with himself 🙂

Mr Grabowski, immediately after the actual ceremony, perhaps looking a little shaky 🙂

Haley read an excerpt from one of Shakespeare’s sonnets

Brian and I towards the end of the night.

People start getting crazy, the dancing really starts happening.

The New Grabowski’s, having their first official dance together.

This was one of the many “food stations” under the big tent – there was an awesome selection of nibblies.
