So Jim and I went to San Francisco. He went for business. I went for an alternative motive. Shopping. Thursday I basically shopped until I dropped and as I was in line a woman said to me "I shouldn't be here buying these things, what is my husband going to say?" I told her to keep them in the trunk for a while, then she informed me that she took the bus that day. I was saddened for her wrath that her husband may show to her making her take the cute items she clung to in line back. We worked out a solution. She would stop off at her friends house and leave it there for a couple of weeks. I think it should work for her...
Jim and I ate at an amazing chinese restaurant called Betelnut. It was local favorite apparently as we were mistaken for locals. Two people throughout the day at Jim's work told him to order the green beans. Interesting. I have nothing against green beans and have been picking them a lot lately at my own home, but seriously of all the items on the menu to be told to get those. Well folks, they were EXTREMELY delicious! Sezuchan green beans. I could drink the sauce as I've told many of you. The calamari was amazing as well. I then took Jim the chocolate lover, to Ghiradelli square where we had ourselves a chocolate shake and "The Domingo."
The next day we headed to Fisherman's wharf or as Jim mistakenly calls it Fisherman's Dwarf. No seriously. He didn't know he was pronouncing it wrong. So cute. We fell in love with the clam chowder (and it was as good as last time I had it 12 years ago with Aup & Ann) and the sea lions.
We then headed up to Lombard street and when I say headed up...I don't mean we took a trolley or cable car...no we walked my friends up a freakin' mountain of cement while cable car passengers waved on by. BUT it was worth it. The view was amazing and we looked at houses on our way back down.
All in all a fantastic vacation!
