Sunday
After sleeping in, we walked to Sarah’s hotel. It was our first rainy day, a little chilly, but still better than KS weather right now. We found a cute little Italian restaurant, it was very good. Also, Sarah had made a friend the night before. He is from Rome, but lives in San Francisco. He met up with us for a while before Sarah had to leave for her flight. He has the most intriguing accent I’ve ever heard. I think all three of us fell in love with him at lunch. After dropping Sarah back off at her hotel, Michael and I walked back to our hotel through China Town. We actually stopped and went in to a bunch of the shops. They have some very unique things…varying all prices. After warming up at the hotel, we decided to walk to Fisherman’s Wharf that evening. We walked the long way through all the piers and down to the tourist area. Most the shops were closed, but the view at night was awesome! We ate at Hard Rock Café. It was so good!
Monday
We wanted to go back to the wharf when the shops were open, so we got up and started on our way. It was raining again, but much lighter than Sunday...and it wasn’t constant. They had some great stores, including a sock store! I made sure to get a few good tall ones. We finished up our souvenir shopping and ate at Wipeout Bar and Grill. We tried shark bites…they were ok, too fishy for me! After eating, we walked back to the hotel to get our luggage together and head to the airport. Our flight was delayed; we didn’t get to KC until about 11:30pm.
We were glad to be home, although we both loved San Francisco. We are hoping to be able to go once a year…and next time it will be during their summer (Sept-Oct). I am so impressed by the people there. I was not expecting people to be so down to earth and friendly. Also, everything seems to be causal, and people just exploring the city. Everyone’s in great shape from walking all over, I think that is a thing that would be a great thing for us. No wonder why we’re so out of shape, we drive everywhere! What is very interesting and different about SF from KC is that I felt very safe the entire time, even walking around at night. People were out strolling around. I’m curious what their crime rate it; I’ll have to look it up compared to here. There’s so much more I want to explore the next time we come. Who knows, maybe we’ll end up out there some day.
