Summers in San Francisco

I never would have guessed that summers in San Francisco are actually quite chilly. In fact, apparently, it gets so hot during the summer that the heat inland makes the fog roll in from the ocean. And roll in it does. I have never seen fog dance and maneauver its way around hills, slopes and valleys as it does in the San Francisco Bay. It's utterly ridiculous how amazing the topography looks when you are driving on highway 280 north and you can see this white blanket slowly moving its way across the landscape, as if covering the City of San Francisco with linen-like cover. And when you're in the actual city, you can't help but grab some cafecito or chocolate to warm you up. Here, I am having some chocolate caliente with Hurricane and Stacie in North Beach (they were just here about 3 weeks ago for Hurricane's bday). Definitely, post-Keroac North Beach. Although it would have been nice to be around, or at least passing by, the old North Beach...just like fog...rolling in...and rolling out. Saludos from the City by the Bay. And for the record...this picture was taken in the summer of 2007...don't know what's up with Hurricane's camera!
