LOOPマガジンVol.4が発売されました。
MASSANが僕に最高のサンフランシスコを見せてくれました。
毎日通った$1.50のウインドウ・タコス。
深夜まで営業しているメキシカンレストランのシュリンプブリトー＆ステーキブリトー。
数々のホームパーティ。
今回のレポートはそんなサンフランシスコ・ストリート・ファイネストの中から生まれました。

人生2回目のサンフランシスコの旅。
オープニング前日に片道チケットを購入し、サンホゼ空港からBartトレインで無賃乗車のチケットを切られそうになりながらもグーグルマップを頼りにエヴァーゴールドにたどりついた後、自転車に乗って全ての取材を成し遂げました。
はじめてのアウエイ取材は慣れない事が多く、本当にいろいろな人が僕を助けてくれました。
SFのストリートとライダー達に心から感謝しています。本当にありがとう。
今回の旅の途中で一つ目標を失い、そして新しい目標を一つ得ました。
その目標に向かって一直線と言う訳にはいかないと思いますが、でも少しずつ近づいていきます。

素晴らしい機会を与えてくれたLOOPマガジンと読者の皆様へ感謝の気持ちを込めて。
これからもよろしくです。
