Epicuriosity

I love San Francisco. The smell of sourdough bread, the historic buildings, the architecture, the food. We started our day on a 2.5 hour trolley tour. It was raining so there was only six of us on the whole tour. We got some great rainy, foggy Golden Gate Bridge pictures.

By the time the tour was over the rain had stopped. We headed over to fisherman’s grotto and had seafood and beer/wine for lunch. Mark got his crab and beer he’s been talking about since we booked this trip and I could see his face glowing with every bite!

After lunch the ten hours of walking began. Oh yeah. When we are on vacation there really is no relaxing (except for the cruise last summer). Of course, we make our pit stops along the way like the Buena Vista for Irish coffee, Ghiardelli square for fudge and chocolate sampling. I think we did everything today! We took the cable car to China town, had canolis in North Beach, shopped Union square and Pier 39. We even found a Scottish store that had an entire back room of scotch and whiskey. Mark was looking at a few and then the salesmen walks out with two glasses for him to taste. Our kind of store!

Needless to say we are exhausted and can’t wait until tomorrow!! We’re headed to Haight Ashbury to discover our inner flower child (well, mine is more of an every day flower child) and then having giant burritos in the Mission district.
