super what?
Sorry, but I’m just not a big fan of football. I think it’s the ubër tight uniforms, grunts and all that slapping each other on the bum. And it hurts me just to see these guys slamming each other onto cold, rock-hard AstroTurf. Give me a civilized game of tennis or a Tour de France, any day, or even some basketball. But that’s just me.
So, if you happen to be of my ilk, and in the bay area here’s a reminder. It’s the 1st Sunday of the month, so that means the Alameda Flea Market is on this Sunday! Skip the Super Bowl and the three-layer bean dip and hit the flea market. I’m hoping everyone’s home on their sofas and Lazyboys with a six-pack in their laps, so there’s lots of good bargains left to be had by the rest of ‘us’. Go team flea!

oh, and happy, happy friday.
i love this virtual tour down san francisco’s market street in 1905, and the music from air makes it. not much has changed — it’s still bustling! except apparently, at one point you could you could still make a left turn, and, nobody was peeing on you. okay, maybe it’s a little bit different.

wrapping it up for the sfcvb.
this evening, I just wanted to wrap things up by saying thank you to San Francisco Convention and Tourist Commission for inviting me to their website to share my weekend visiting my beautiful city of San Francisco with you. It was fun, action-packed weekend and I had a great time sharing some of my favorite haunts with you.
I couldn’t quite fit it all in, so I left them with a list of some other great shops to check out on your next visit to San Francisco — all wonderful, and quite a few you can visit online as well until you arrive here. You can find the complete list here on the sfcvb site.
