8/8

Hola folks,

Yesterday the participants had a fun filled day of exploring the various neighborhoods of San Francisco.  Becky, Doug, and Steve started out by getting coffee in the Mission, historically a Latin-American neighborhood with world famous murals everywhere you look.  Next they made their way over to Chinatown where they had lunch at the Empress of China restaurant and explored the various Chinese stores and markets along Grant.  The cast had a quick interview with the director and producer at the base of the Transamerica Pyramid before heading over to Coit Tower.  Next came a quick Pier 39 boat ride around Alcatraz, and lastly we ended our day with dinner at Chilango, a new restaurant in the Castro neighborhood, where Lauren, Ty’s sister, joined us!  Afterwards cast and crew alike came back to the house and dozed off after a long day.
