Lemurs at the San Francisco Zoo, Dec  2008

Over the Christmas holidays, bookstore owner Kelly Hughes and his wife Candace, EAT! bistro Executive Chef, went to San Francisco. As per tradition, they kept a photo journal of their adventures to share with all of their This Week at Aqua Books readers. Usually they just put it up on the main site (see New York city trip here). However, now that Aqua Books gets its tumble on, we have a new spot for Kelly and Candace’s field trips!

Enjoy!

This sign appears on the door of every SF Fire Department. Wow.
