Rainy Day In Paradise

After what seems to be the longest, driest summer in memory, we had a full day of rain yesterday and it was quite attractive in its own way!  Can’t complain when it’s dry until mid-November (though it does drive home why we are having major fires all over the place).  View from the deck on this damp day:

Not much chance of a walk in the park this day, but good opportunity to go to San Francisco and check out Japan Town!  Sounded like a great idea, so jumped in the car, but fantasy turned into reality at the Bay Bridge …

Japantown was hopping, though – full of local teenagers, tourists, you name it!  Good antidote to a rainy day.
