Danny and I returned last night from a wonderful trip to San Francisco. Ms. Erin Stone was our personal tour guide for the trip. The first day we spent walking all over the city. We saw Lombard Street, Pier 39, Russian Hill, and various other parts of the city. More importantly, we ate a brownie sundae at the Ghirardelli Factory and drank a beer and ate pizza at a great dive bar in Russian Hill, and heard a guy from Jersey yell at the conductor of a cable car.
The next day, we headed to Golden Gate Park. We strolled through the Arboretum and visited the De Young Museum. The most impressive part of the museum was the "Warhol Live" exhibit. The exhibit consisted of 4 rooms that made you feel like you were part of the Silver Factory experience. As we made our way through the massive exhibit, we noticed that there was a whisper going around. It turns out that the famous glass artist Dale Chihuly was walking through the exhibit at the same time we were. He was pretty hard to miss, besides the entourage of artisty folk following him, he was wearing an eye patch and black boots covered in splashes of vibrant paint. Of course, Erin and I had to find his book in the museum store. We were both quite impressed with his work.
Our final day, we spent cycling across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. The fog was heavy by the time we reached the bridge, but we were lucky enough to catch little breaks every now and again. We had planned to bike always to the Redwoods, but thought that lunch and lying in the sun sounded better. When we got back to the Ferry Building, Danny and I grabbed a beer and a crab salad and then met up with Danny's Aunt, who happened to be in town at the same time. It was the perfect ending to the perfect afternoon. All in all, our trip to San Fran was amazing. I was so happy to spend time with old high school friends (Ethan and Erica) and their significant others. Danny and I will definitely be back to visit the great state of California.
