New Year's Eve 1999

5 PM: Baker Beach to watch the sunset

Water? ...check. Backpack? ...check. Attitude? ...check. Destination? Sanity? ...who knows?

The Golden Gate Bridge from our parking spot

Fire on the beach

Just getting warmed up for our hike across the city.

Inside the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Cathedral

The smell of incense, the droning of the priests, the prayers of the faithful, the echoing footsteps of a past world

We made it to Union Square!

Wreaths light hotel windows

A bicycle built for 2...000

People of the Village

Happy New Year! Midnight at the Embarcadero

Lit for the holidays

7:22 AM: View from Coit Tower

Statue of Christopher Columbus

Entering a New World

8 AM: Journey Home

We must be the only ones awake (barely!)
