San Francisco-The City By The Bay
As some of you know I recently returned from a trip to San Francisco to visit my boyfriend who temporarily relocated there for work and boy did I have an amazing time. It’s true what they say, there sure are a lot of gentle people there, lovely gentle people who made me remember how important it is to take a moment to sit back, enjoy life, and really soak all of life’s awesomeness in. We spent one day exploring Alcatraz Island and followed by a delicious dinner of Dungeness Crab on the pier after checking out some sunbathing sea lions. We spent another day lazily strolling around the Castro and Dolores Park and other parts of the city, fueled by delectable pastries we picked up at Tartine Bakery, (including a dark chocolate filled croissant and some of the best strawberry bread pudding I have ever tasted-I highly recommend this bakery but go prepared to stand in line-the pastries are THAT good! ) and then had dinner (and my favorite meal of the trip ) at The Anchor Oyster Bar , a must try if ever you are in San Francisco, where we feasted on bowls of hot chowder followed by a humongous serving of oysters on the half shell and chilled prawns. After my San Francisco adventure was over I headed back to NYC and one thing was for certain, this New Yorker returned home a happy girl. I hope to spend more time there on my next visit and here are a few pictures from my recent California adventure:)
