Day Two!




We began our second day with a walking tour of the Castro neighborhood. The guide spoke about it's history and development as the city's most famous gay enclave. After the tour, we stopped for lunch in a small Mediterranean cafe.
From the cafe, we spent some time in the Asian Art Museum. The museum houses a pretty extensive collection of religious and ornamental sculpture from across the Asian continent.
We finished up our day volunteering with At The Crossroads, a local non-profit that helps homeless youth by providing them with food and other necessities, along with counseling. We spent a couple hours making birthday and thank-you cards for the young adults the organization works with.

Today, we'll be walking the seven hills of San Francisco. Wish us luck!
