Korean War Memorial; San Francisco, California – Perhaps the newest of the Korean War Memorials in the United States, the memorial in San Francisco opened in August 2016.

This national cemetery may not be so easy to access, off of Interstate 5 in the middle of the vast Central Valley, but it is beautiful, set among the rolling grassy slopes, albeit very hot on a summer day. The Korean War Memorial is a circular set of granite stones with the POW/MIA flag flying in the center.

Crema restaurant in Pacific Grove   is a restaurant, coffee bar and wine bar all-in-one (although it’s only open until 4 p.m.).
