I had the most amazing orange I have ever had. It just burst with flavor and orangeness. This must have been the archetype from which all oranges are made from. Anyway, I ate it and it was wonderful.

It had a navel.

This was a long day filled with walking and adventure.

The highlight of which was a relaxing cappuccino at Au Coquelet.

I can understand why, to some, this is their Mecca.

I am here to see a guy about that thing and to petition the return of the Newton, aka the fricking iTablet.

I also buy t-shirts and the video iPod that Presh has been waiting for.

I then spend dusk, which this time of year is around 9:00 p.m., waiting for the light to be just right.

Posters of this shot are available for pre-order.

The Farewell Tour continues…

First stop is Isobune. They claim to have invented sushi on a boat.

We had fourteen plates. Though only six were stacked on my side.

Presh heart salmon.

We then went pen shopping. Do not get me started on Presh’s Japanese pen collection.

Union Square was next. Presh headed to Macy’s as I set up in the park.

I lifecast for an hour then play WoW for a bit. Life is good in the square under shade as the wind blows cold.

Union Square, San Francisco - A lifecast.

Dinner is Peet’s and Beard Papa followed by a movie in room. Tomorrow we visit the mothership.
