Soooo . . . guess what I had for dinner last night?
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES AND A $2 BOTTLE OF WHITE WINE!
Hells to the yeah.
In other news, we've arrived in San Francisco and it's totally GORGEOUS and I LOVE IT. (Sorry for the egregious use of the caps lock button. I'm just having one of those totally stoked moments. Flow with me.) During the last few weeks, I said over and over again how I had a really great feeling about San Francisco, and how I just knew that I would adore this city. Dan, in his ever-boyish ways, laughed at me, ignoring my lady intuition.
San Francisco, as I so delicately mentioned earlier, is a beautiful city. Though it lacks the visual punch of cities like Prague or Paris or even New Orleans, its loveliness creeps up on you in soft and subtle ways: the cool blue tones of the sky meeting the sea, the romantic fog that silently sweeps over the city at dusk, the sweet nautical details that dot Fisherman's Wharf and the Hyde St. Pier.
See for yourself:
If San Francisco were a color, it would most certainly be blue. Cerulean blue.
I love this city!! Be sure to check out The Plant Cafe (it's right on the pier) you won't regret it! Are you going to stop through Berkeley too?
ReplyDeleteMe too! We were right on the pier, but I didn't see a Plant Cafe . . . somehow we missed it on what turned into a very blustery day! And though we picked up our rental car from Berkeley, there wasn't any time to have a look around - maybe next time around!
DeleteSan Francisco is an amazing city. I thought, before I left, that I would like it, but I was wrong. I LOVED it. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes! For me, the architecture and the walkability really does it. I just love how easy it is to get to and fro in this city, and all the lovely buildings you see in between!
DeleteI'm still bitter at san fran for its thugs who stole our bikes, but your pictures kinda made me not hate it as much :)
ReplyDelete(GASP) OH NO! That STINKS to have your bikes stolen! What a complete bummer - I would probably have bad feelings toward a city too, if that happened to me. It might be worth another visit, though!
