My trip to SF and Stockton, California 2009

So I went to San Francisco to visit and hang out. He and Hugo went down to the Mission District and I found that the the Mission District is a lot like Macarthur Park “Westlake” Neighborhood of Los Angeles CA.
We went to eat at a Salvadorian restaurant called Antojito's Aminta. Where I had my favorite dish, fried Yuca with Pork.
Soon after my lunch we walked around Mission Street and Valencia Street. We found some alley ways with tones of art work. Pictures down below. Met up with our old friend Sandra. She showed Hugo and I around. We went to the Upper Playground shop (Fillmore District) an and walked Haight Street, had some Thai food and went to and art show where we ran into our friend Japan from Dark Empire. Had a few drinks.
Around 10 pm I went to meet up with Sofie and Hien. They were coming in from Stockton to party in the city. Since I was already in the Mission District they told me to meet them at the 500 club. The 500 club reminded me of the Short Stop in Echo Park. But with great testing beer. I few in love with a beer called Turbo Dog. Oh so good, we had a few other but Turbo Dog was the best.
A few bars and a few beers later I found myself throwing up some of them great testing beers. Oh mang was it a mess. We made it back Stockton were I was going to stay the night slept on the floor of Hugo's Brother in-law JR. Sorry JR, I owe you one. Woke up to Gizmo licking my face and Pablo telling me to wake up. Hugo came to check on me and told me to get up and get ready.
We were going to have a BBQ so we went to the market to round up the beers and meat. Had some of the best Carne Asada tacos.
JR and Sofie took me out and showed me a good time in Stockton. Saw Hotel for dogs with Pablo and Family.
Over all I had a great time in SF and in Stockton. I would do it all again, but slow down on the turbo dog beer.
