day 20/21 "Wild Things in San Francisco"
Our first day in San Francisco was lovely. We started our day getting breakfast at this adorable coffee shop Nani's, run by two little old men. Then we made our way over a giant hill to Haight Street. This is a definite hippie shopping tourist attraction area, full of vintage shops, tie dye, and little eateries. We did a little window shopping and had crepes. Then we walked to the Golden Gate Park and went to the Conservancy of Flowers. In this beautiful opaque white green house, there were amazing flowers and trees and little ponds for all different climates. Once we were done in the Conservancy we looked at the Dalia garden outside. It started mist/raining so we returned to the apartment to rest. We did A LOT of walking. We made yummy quinoa veggie chili with Morgan and took a bus to meet Sara and see 'Where the Wild Things Are'. It was fabulous. Then a quick drink at the local favorite Pig and Whistle Bar before we called it a night. Yesterday we got the oil in the Honda changed, yay! Then we did a quick trip to visit the Academy of the Arts for Mia and popped into Noe Valley to Sara's cooking shop. Morgan brought us to Baker Beach, where we could see the Golden Gate bridge and the sunset while we strolled on the sand and climbed rocks. We made pizza and had a little dinner party at the apartment last night. Tomorrow we see the Muir Forrest and the Mission.
