Finding San Francisco

On our way to meeting friends for Yunnan food on Friday night, we happened upon a place called Pier 39. We peeked into the small restaurant, saw "San Francisco" inscribed on the wall and bread bowls with clam chowder on diners' tables, and promised we'd return. We ventured back Sunday afternoon to have our own taste of home, which really wasn't half bad (I've had worse chowder in the States!). Goes to show you can find anything in Shanghai. And by the way, it's 9:00 a.m. on Monday morning, and I'm sitting in a sports bar, drinking a cup of coffee and watching the Giants-Cardinals game.
