The wife and I are on vacation in your lovely city for the week. We mostly avoided the whole gift giving thing for Christmas this year, opting for a smattering of stocking stuffers and saving our money for a vacation to our second favorite city in California. I actually grew up in the East Bay (Lafayette) and moved away to Santa Fe half way through the 8th grade.

As this trip is a present, we are splurging on one of our favorite indulgences, fine dining. We’ve budgeted a few hundred bucks a day for food and we want to experience a wide range of culinary delights, of which there are no shortage of in San Fran. I posted a RFR (Request For Reccomendations) on Chowhound, and last night, after checking in to our hotel, we ate at Perbacco, which was excellent.

Another facet of our vacation is photography. I am planning on doing more HDR photography around SF. Last year before our wedding we took a trip up here and I did a bit of shooting, but this year I’m going all out.
