Once off the 292 bus discovered the Hearst Building. If you ever have the chance visit San Simeon, the Hearst Castle. It is my all time favorite visit..



Across the street from the Hearst Building a historic fountain. Here horses watered.

And not much further, the Chinese Gates welcomed. Stayed at the Grant Plaza on Grant Avenue in the center of Chinatown. Reasonably priced with comfortable rooms, no remuneration received, however, this will be my go to for future visits and considering the Ritz Carlton is up the street – location, location….

Chinatown Shops..




Even the banks have an Asian motif in Chinatown.

Always interested in churches, Old St. Mary’s Cathedral, located in Chinatown on California Street, built in 1854, and a designated San Francisco landmark. In the church bulletin a mass was said for President Joe Biden on his birthday. My kind of church as he needs all the prayers he can get to fix our country.


A final shot of a Chinatown visitor, as they said in the commercials – “Priceless”
