so much to love about san francisco 4: The Haight

to-die-for shop

on the haight; i

have the card in

my (again, voluminous)

files. when it turns up

i adore the huntington hotel

it is charming and warm and

somewhat quite grand, which you

really can't tell from these photos

because i have a habit of taking

pictures of rather odd things but

somewhere in my voluminous

photo bank (too voluminous,

must sort soon) there are better

pics of this sweet hideaway and if

you go there don't forget to have

dinner at The Big 4 downstairs or

you will miss half the fun. yep.
