Just got back yesterday from a great week in San Francisco!! Despite 4 days of a weird flu I caught somehow (which was only worsened by the stupidest move ever of downing a Ghirardelli hot fudge peanut butter sundae at the height of my fever...), it was FANTASTIC!
San Francisco is a totally unique, amazing city. It is people friendly, healthy, bright, fun, quirky, hippie and groovy. You can't get a bad meal there it seems (Andrea said he'd move there for the fresh tomatoes alone - extremely high props from an Italian!). I could absolutely see Andrea and I living there - its only downside being that there aren't really any extreme weather changes there, which is sort of sad. Oh, that and the fact that it's on the other side of the globe. Otherwise, though, I think Andrea and I would move there in a literal heartbeat.
We did all sorts of stuff in SF besides the aforementioned Ghirardelli Square. Chinatown, a tour through the Mission Murals, Mission Dolores, Lombard Street, a Frida Kahlo exhibit at the SFMoma, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Park and the Japanese tea garden and flower conservatory, a drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, the aquarium, Nob Hill, the Financial District, walking all along the Embarcadero up to the Ferry Building (we never did get back for the caviar we wanted to try though). And, like I said, all that dabbed here and there with a fantastic meal.
Our main motivation for going out there in the first place was the arrival of one wholly unique, awesome wedding invitation from dear friends, and so our last couple days there, or the Wedding Extravaganza, were the most wonderful cherry on top to an amazing week. Cheers and congrats, Adam and Eliza (and Patty, who may just be reading this!): may your lives be filled with the same beauty and color as your wedding day!
Andrea and I all dolled up for the wedding.
