SF City Tour with Papa
My dad was in the city today with his tour group so Ilya and I went along for the day. The city tour on the bus was nice but I really can't handle seeing everything only from the window. I had seen all of the places (Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks, the ocean, Chinatown...) before but it is still hard to not get out and wander around everywhere. When we got to Fishermans Warf, I was pretty hungry so we had delicious bread from a bakery that made crab, lobster, and turtle shaped bread. Food should always come with the option of looking like animals or people; it just tastes better that way.
After that we went over to the Golden Gate Bridge and walked across the bridge. I have done this before but I kept thinking how different it felt from walking across any bridge in New York. I think it is because the weather was so gray and dreary that it was a different experience from sunny walks in NYC. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of my favorite bridges to walk over in nice weather and I think that I have it in my head now that bridge walking should be done on beautiful afternoons. We headed into Sausalito, an adorable town just outside of San Francisco. Heidi and I used to visit sometimes in high school for one great candy store, still there, that has huge wooden barrels filled with assorted taffy candies. Ilya and I picked up some delicious ice cream and headed over to buy some candies. They did have some new items, including these amazing candy grillz. Candy really has changed...maybe for the better...or just weirder. Wandering through the town, we came across a super fun toy store that had tons of teeny tiny animals, including LOL Cats. Things are so much cuter when they are tiny. We didn't buy anything there but the toys were so adorable that I was very tempted.
