San Francisco's Chinatown, part 1

This past weekend, I met a dear friend in San Francisco - we both flew in for a little weekend get-away.  We saw some sights, ate amazing food, and took lots of photos. We're both into photography, and it was fun to have someone else to shoot with. 

San Francisco's Chinatown is a place where I love meandering and just taking it all in. There is so much to see and so much great food to enjoy. We had some delicious dim sum at a restaurant where we were in the minority by speaking English. It is a neighborhood like no other I've been to in the U.S. because it is still so distinct from its surroundings. I love that its residents have kept their culture so alive.
