San Francisco Marathon - Landmark Ferry Building bw
Mijo and I were out of town when Sunday Streets went to the Mission District a year ago. I got lucky that I was in town and available two weeks ago during Sunday Streets on Valencia St. 

Lots of culture, music, dancing and fun activities! This is probably one of my favorite Sunday Streets in the city!

Summer in the city is going great so far. Lots of street fairs and free music events happening almost every weekend and I am glad that we've stayed in the town most of June and July.

SF Public Library - Main branch facade bw
I went to the Main Library to volunteer at a photo archiving event to document the evolution of the Filipino community in San Francisco.

During that process, I rediscovered the beautiful architecture and interior of the city's Main Library. It is truly one of the gems in the city.
