Feeling like a seasoned traveller here in San Francisco, on and off the Muni, destination Alamo Square, a historic precinct with colorful Victorian row houses. The park has a view across to downtown San Francisco that is immortalized in a photo taken from this spot of the city burning after the 1906 earthquake. Its a peaceful place.

San Francisco is known for residential streets lined with highly decorated Victorian Era row houses dating from 1860's through to 1900. They are narrow, regularly spaced with lavish decorative wood elements and beautifully painted.

| and they are so worthy of all the attention! |
 |
| Narrow in the front and deep into the stand below, how well they manage the hill. |
 |
| Walking around the square was a visual treat and sometimes |
 |
| just a little bizarre. |
 |
| This is the view from Alamo Square back towards Stanyan Street, below the trees in the centre of the photo - home for the week. |
