The Minister goes on tour of SF and Houston

[ATester]

Well, I'm not headed to Houston this week...but that's ok, from what I understand, it is wicked hot at the moment...SF is on the horizon though. As far as having been to SF before...yes, once....when I was on tour with my college choir years ago...and I loved it...MUNI...sometimes not the most on-time transportation, but VERY easy to follow (especially comepared to the T in Boston). Last time I was there I spent much of my time at the SF MOMA, in the Mission district, and there is some awesome beach at the end of the N. Judah if you pick it up at Powell St. station...I also skulked outside of City Lights books a couple times...but most of the time it was spent singing at the Robert Mondavi vineyards, and various other locals...

I don't know how much time you will have, but try to get to the conservatory of flowers. It is an amazing old building and they have lovely plants. (about 700 orchids). And get to North Beach for some good Italian food. And Chinatown for some chinese. Go to the chinese places on the side streets - where the locals are.
