These Pride flags were flying everywhere in the downtown Financial district. Made me very happy.
The trip was great. It's been something like 10 years since I just took a vacation where I wasn't working or didn't have some huge family obligation. It was very refreshing to only have the wedding as my real obligation. I went all over the place and spent some money and had a great time. (Some more pictures I took are also up on Flickr.)

The wedding was great, and I'll post some pics from that later on. Very short wedding (4 pages from the Book of Common Prayer) in a lovely chapel in Grace Cathedral. Then we took loads of pictures and we all went back to the bride and groom's place to eat and talk and drink. I tried raw oysters!  I still prefer shrimp, but at least I know how to eat them now, right?

I've been exhausted all week, recovering from jet lag and working and going to class. Slept 11 hours Friday night and 10 last night. So I'm trying to catch up. Donating blood on Friday probably didn't help matters any.
