This was taken on a Sunday in June on the Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan in New York City. A long stretch of the street was closed down for hundreds of vendors for jewelry, food, street artists and more! It was so much fun! I tried to get the shot above when all the lights were red – I almost succeeded ๐

View from Le Meridien in San Francisco
This is the spectacular view to the Bay Bridge from the 23rd floor at the Le Meridien in San Francisco! I’m not afraid of heights, but I did get dizzy standing on the balcony; not dizzy enough though to Not take this shot.
California Street – San Francisco
As we were huffing and puffing up California Street in San Francisco, people much older than us were passing us, haha! On one of our many breaks, about two thirds up, I turned around and took this shot.
Banned Books at City Lights Bookstore
City Lights book store in San Francisco maintains a shelf dedicated to banned books. A world without 1984, Naked Lunch or Ulysses? Inconceivable! One of the last remaining independent bookstores, City Lights Bookstore is a gem that still has the air of the Beats and hippies. Read more about the City Lights Bookstore here. The owner, Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a poet and has owned the store for over 60 years!

When you Drink Water…
“When you drink water, think of its source.” Saw this behind the City Lights book store in San Francisco. Don’t know how long it’s been there, but this call for awareness has never been more important than now.
View from San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
This was taken from inside SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art through a dirty window. Still, great view!
View from Le Meridien in Munich
After I’ve figured out the child proof lock (it was adult proof too – almost ๐ ) I took my little Canon snapshot and reached as far as possible to get this shot. I think we were on the fifth floor; right across from the train station. The Meridien is newly remodeled and you can’t hear any noise from the train station at all. It’s a nice place, very clean.
