San Francisco

Garrett and I have enjoyed some time away together this past month. We first went to San Francisco for a conference where Garrett and his "Building Social Equity" website were featured. I just went along for fun and spent A LOT of time alone walking around downtown San Francisco. Some things we/I did include:
-went to Alcatraz and toured the infamous cellhouse and island
-ate seafood at Fisherman's Wharf
-sampled chocolate at Ghiradelli Square
-climbed the steepest street EVER (at least that's how it felt to my shaking/burning calf muscles)
-walked down "the crookedest street in the world" and also very steep
-shopped/browsed/haggled at every store in Chinatown and bought some cute PJ's for Grace
-was part of a minority as like 80% of the people were Asian, not just in Chinatown, but the whole city is full of them
-rode the BART train, trolley cars, but left the cable cars for the other people because they cost $5 each ride and you needed cash a lot, which I didn't have on me

There was so much more to do there that we didn't have time for, so I hope to make it back sometime.
