San Francisco Treat

Glide effortlessly from SeaTac into Oakland, onto BART, emerge at Embarcadero station in downtown San Francisco ... now I'm off to find a spot of lunch and discover an alley full of cafes called Belden Place. Take a seat at the sunny and very French Cafe Bastille, order a crab salad and a glass of wine and feel like I've never left Paris.
