No Comments on Walking on Ocean Beach, San Francisco CA

Ocean Beach is the name of the wonderful sandy beach on the west side of San Francisco, near Golden Gate Park. It faces the Pacific Ocean, and has big cresting waves that roll in.

We went for a walk on a sunny day on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful warm sand, the cool ocean breeze, the birds playing in the surf, and people walking their dogs and running along the beach.

I’d love to go back to Ocean Beach. Visiting San Francisco was a really great vacation, and I could definitely spend more time there. I figure it will become an almost yearly trip for me for a change of scene (even though my home city of Vancouver Canada is a great place too).

Ocean Beach is accessible by transit from downtown San Francisco (just check Google Maps for transit directions!).

No Comments on Turning 29 years old – Birthday Cake with Sparklers and Candles

Here is a video of my birthday cake being decorated with sparklers and candles, which are then lit and the cake is brought to the table. I’ve edited out most of the singing of the happy birthday song but you can catch the end of it. The cake is a Tuxedo cake from Save on Foods in Delta, BC, Canada.

My birthday wish before I blew out the candles (which I will now make public!) is that everyone around me will find happiness in their lives.

Thanks to Mom, Dad, Byron and Tony for a wonderful 29th birthday!
All the best, Love and happiness.
Geoff

(btw the camera used in this video is a Canon EOS T2i, recording video in 30 frames per second full HD 1080p). I highly recommend this camera.

No Comments on Saigon Sandwich – Vietnamese Sandwiches in San Francisco CA

we visited Saigon Sandwiches, Banh Mi Saigon, 560 Larkin St., San Francisco, CA 94102. phone: 415.474.5698

in the “Little Saigon” area of San Francisco.

Shown are the Tofu sandwich, the Special Combination sandwich, the Vietnamese Bean Pudding, and the rice wrapped in banana leaves.

We were sitting near the San Francisco City Hall across from the Asian Art Museum downtown and lots of birds started surrounding us once they saw we were eating. There was also a cute corgi dog that started licking up the crumbs.

For more videos from our trip to San Fran, please visit www.geoffmobile.com

Special thanks to the restaurant, Saigon Sandwich, great food, and very reasonable prices! Total meal of both sandwiches as well as the two other items came to just over $10 USD.

Saigon Sandwich was voted best sandwich in 2010 for San Francisco Bay Area according to CitySearch.

Some photos from our trip to San Fran can be found here:

Have a great day!
All the best,
