It gives me great joy to proclaim that spring break is finally here! After over a month away from home (my personal record even after two and a half years as a university student), I'm home for the week and very much enjoying the vacation. My roommate, Kim, and I took the weekend to celebrate our brief respite from school, braving the rainy Sunday afternoon to make a trip to the Mission District in San Francisco. I've never had a chance to visit the Mission District so it was a much welcome adventure. The neighborhood is heavily Hispanic and the culture is deeply embedded in the area, from the language you hear spoken on the streets to the various Latin American
tiendas and restaurants that line the sidewalks.
Although it was raining for the majority of the afternoon, Kim and I took our time wandering down 24th street, where you will find an abundance of very colorful and amazingly detailed murals. We trekked back up to Guerrero Street to attend Saturday vigil Mass at St. James Catholic Church--it was a beautiful service. After another trip down the hill, we decided to grab dinner to-go from La Palma Mexicatessen. I would highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves hankering for some delicious Mexican food in the Mission District!
Here are some of my favorite photos from our day out. Enjoy!
