San Francisco here we come!
Nick and I recently ventured out on a 12 day road trip; Destination: San Fran, Yosemite, St. George, Escalante, Moab and Salt Lake City. Thought I would post a few pics (yeah, that's right, I'm learning slowly but surely how to utilize this blog) for your viewing pleasure. Up first San Fran!
My beloved friend James acted as host, tour guide and photographer extraordinaire for the 48 hour stay Nick and I enveloped while in San Fran. As a 3 year native to the 7x7 mile peninsula, James has been encouraging me and all of his friends to come visit the diverse city he loves so much. So we did...rolling in after a 14.5 hour drive (but first stopping in Castle Crags for a sunrise viewing and intense hike), James warmly welcomed us and our gear, groceries and backpacks into his amazing 2 bedroom town home in North Beach District. After showers and a quick glance at the city from the rooftop (don't tell), we hit the streets walking! From Chinatown to Farmers Market at the Ferry Terminal, we were awed by the city's diversity, authenticity and architecture. We hit up the typical touristy spots; Fisherman's Warf (clam chowder in a sour dough bowl...of course) and the Ghirardelli Square (double cappuccino hot fudge sunday blast...naturally) while also enjoying the quaintness that San Fran offers...Saturday night church service, an amazing Tapas restaurant and enjoyable conversation with other friendly San Fran natives. Besides being awed by the accessibility that this fine city has to offer, Nick and I were taken aback by the diversity and things to do there. Walking, walking, and more walking pleased us to no end...a nice chance to stretch the legs before heading off to our next destination: Yosemite, a mere 6 hours away or 7.5 if I fall asleep in the passenger seat and neglect to assist in the navigation department. Oops!
A wonderfully enthusiastic Thank You to James for going above and beyond the line of duty to show two friends a city so near and dear to his heart. You are such a blessing!
Nick in Chinatown...he fits right in!
