Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 5 - Rainy Day in Japantown - June 10, 2015

"Duffy again. It is a rainy day! Lucky for us, much of Japantown is indoors."

"This is a gift from Osaka, a sister city of San Francisco!"

"I...am not sure what this is..."

"Wow! A giant Bunraku puppet! (Life with Duffy and ShellieMay taught us that too!)"

"We ate at this little restaurant."

"Curry is my human's favorite!" Such a big meal!

"Hey! No fair! I want to share!"

"Bookstore!"

"Hey! The sky finally cleared up!"

"I do love San Francisco!"

"Oh! Japanese!"

"There were some interesting buildings on the way back, too."

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 4 - Japantown - June 10, 2015

"Duffy again. Good morning, San Francisco!"


"Oh, yes, and TippyBlue is coming too!"

"This will help us remember where we parked."

"I am a one-armed samurai!"

"This chair is not made of chocolate at all, though."


"Much of Japantown is just like an indoor mall."






"Life with Duffy and ShellieMay told us this is Osaka Castle!"

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 3 - San Francisco! - June 9, 2015

"Still Duffy. My human carried me in this Sweet Duffy bag."

"One of the flight attendants had spent time at Walt Disney World, and he recognized me! Yippee!"

"And....we are in San Francisco! Here is a photo of passengers in a Ford Tri-Motor airplane. That was one of the first passenger airplanes, I think. My human thinks they're neat!"


"Hey wait. The airport has an aviation museum? That would be neat to see, but I don't think we'll have time....but hey! We can still look around this airport!"

"San Francisco has very good mass transportation, even from the airport, but we needed to rent a car. So much traffic! Worse than home!

"I'm taking it all in stride, though."

"Here is our hotel! We were at the Cow Hollow Motor Inn and it was a reasonable price and extremely comfortable! I think we got one of the larger rooms."



"They even had nice toiletries."

"My human was amazed that the room had a view! I wasn't too surprised, since I AM the bear of Happiness and Luck."

"Since we had a car, we could go to the grocery store to buy bottled water and treats!"

"Those were coconut cookies with big globs of chocolate on top. They are some of the best cookies I've ever had!"

"I could eat them all up."

"Hey wait...that's the Golden Gate Bridge, isn't it? WOW!"

"San Francisco!"


"We got expensive sandwiches at Safeway. This was a turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich. It had so much bacon! So much everything! My human and I shared and both got very full! (not too full for more cookies though)"

"San Francisco sunset from our room."

"Good night, San Francisco!"

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 2 - Delayed - June 9, 2015

"Duffy here. We made it to the gate, but our flight was delayed! Oh no!"



"But we can get some delicious Mexican food while we wait. I am glad my human shared with me. It was very good!"

"We decided to take a walk to get some exercise. Although, they have moving sidewalks. Is that exercise? Also my human was carrying me..."

"WOW! They have a free set of binoculars you can look through!"

"Whoa. Tires!"


"I think airports are fun. Is that weird?"


"Oh, look. There is even art past the security checkpoints!"

"As fun as the airport is, I hope we get to leave soon...."

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 1 - Airport - June 9, 2015

"Hello! I am Duffy! My human thought we should share my trip to San Francisco, even though it was a while ago. But San Francisco is so beautiful, and it has the Walt Disney Family Museum too! But first.....we had to explore the airport to get there!

"I always like to look at the art."


"This robot was in a store!"

"Oh! There is the art! This is...interesting...."

"Eeeek!"

"There is a lot of art around the airport! Also some places to sit."

"Sometimes you have to make your own fun in the airport. Wheeeee!"

"Um...this is not a very classy postcard, is it?"
