North Lake Tahoe Hitch-Hiking

How to hitchhike in North Lake Tahoe! Awesome skateboard.

This hot guy was standing in Tahoe City, California with thumb out looking for a ride, but he only
got the attention of young female drives that would honk and laugh as they drove by him. He was out there for a while... I would have picked him up!

Kitty Kats, Vino & the Corner Store

Now while shopping for lemons, wine, TP, or bottled water, you can purchase an old, white kitty. I love my corner store & only in SF!

The Cats Of Telegraph Hill - Filbert Street Steps in San Francisco

Not much of a 'Guard Kitty' This Telegraph Hill dweller is crusty and old, yet overly friendly and love attention. I sat with him for a while and he let me pet him.



I sat with this little old cat on the steps for a while enjoying all the beautiful flowers on the Filbert Street steps.



Very sophisticated kitty, beautifully posed with a gental meow. This Telegraph Hill dweller is high class kitty. Situated behind iron gates to separate himself from the common folk.



Telegraph Hill is one of the most beautiful and oldest neighborhoods in San Francisco. This cat can't be bothered to walk down the steps, yet he has a lovely voice and would not stop meowing.

Sweet Dish Candy Store in San Francisco

Sweet Dish on Chestnut Street in San Francisco. I loved the window display so much that I purchased 15 dollars in candy! If you're around that area, stop in... such a little kids dream!
Can't wait to eat my Swedish Fish!
