Celebrating a Loved One's Milestone Birthday in San Francisco

One of the reasons we visited SF was to celebrate a loved ones' milestone birthday.

Ferry Building, SF

We spent an afternoon on our last day in the Ferry Building area in SF.

Bay Bridge, San Francisco

We waited for S. to get off work at Starbuck by the Ferry Building.

S. came to get us after his exercise class and we met in Starbuck.



Pedalling his bike, he came to meet us dressed in sweat shirt and his shorts, but looked happy after a long day's work.

Walking along the water front, we had a good view of the bridge as the sun started to set.

Since S. lives close to the ferry building area, we went up to his apartment and visited for a little while.

 We headed out for dinner in a local restaurant.

This local restaurant has always been our favorutie.






We were here in 2014 for the first time and we really enjoyed it.













The restaurant has a very special social program to help some special folks to gain valuable employment skills after experiencing some difficult periods in their lives.

We always admire business/companies engaging in social enterprise projects to help people who need a little bit more assistance before they can stand on their two feet in our society.

The crab cakes were delicious!

We  try to support them with our business.
This was why we wanted to come back here to celebrate our special occasion.


When the food arrived, we held hands and gave thanks to God to mark this special milestone occasion.


The food and service were both very good.

While we were having dessert, we gave S. his birthday presents, a couple of small things and  a lasei. We were glad that we were able to share his milestone birthday with him.

After this delicious and memorable dinner, it was around 9pm, time to go to the airport for our red eye flight home.

S. ordered a Uber for us and we went to retrieve our luggage.

We had a bear hug with S. before heading to the airport.

We had a great trip and thank God for a safe and great trip in the States.
