After a bumpy plane ride, we arrived at our boutique hotel in San Fran Thursday night. Exhausted from too much work/school, we went to bed early to the sounds of screaming and yelling coming from the nightclub on the ground level of our hotel. We woke up early the next morning, and started exploring San Fran. I had been there a few times, but Eric had never seen what to me is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the US.
We walked; and we walked, and walked, and walked for probably 10 miles that day, going through Chinatown, and most of the greater metropolitan area. Let it be said, that in walking so much, one should take and wear appropriate shoes. Flip flops were NOT the shoe of choice, and I realized a little too late what happens when you're ill prepared for an urban hike!
We headed back to the hotel and caught a cab to Chez Panisse on the recommendation of one of my professors and ate an absolutely AMAZING continental dinner.
That night, a couple of friends flew in, and we surprised them with take out from Chez Panisse, they enjoyed it just as much as we did. In the morning, we headed over to Chinatown again, stopping along the way to buy some appropriate footwear for me, so I stopped looking gimpy and ridiculous.
We bought several wall hangings, and had lunch atop a beautiful building with an open courtyard.
We headed over to the aquarium, one of my favorite in the US.
We walked along Fisherman's Wharf, and stopped to get our portraits drawn and enjoy some much needed warm clam chowder.
We enjoyed a yummy sushi dinner that night, walked along the pier, and stopped for Ben and Jerry's on our way back to the hotel.
Our last morning was spent at the Golden Gate Bridge.
We headed over towards the wharf again, stopping along the way to enjoy the Maritime Museum and many random and fun people.
Enjoying one last lunch before heading to the airport, where I proved myself to be a source of entertainment to a restaurant full of people who enjoyed watching me gimp back and forth.
