Day 2: San Francisco

Monday December 15th, 2008

Our first stop on our first full morning in San Francisco was to buy a City Passport for our first Trolley ride. Our hotel was right beside the Powell and Hyde cable car turnaround.

We took the trolley all the way down to Union Square to eat at the famous Sears Fine Foods for brunch. It was seriously some of the best breakfast food I have ever had.







This is a picture of the largest Christmas tree I have ever seen in my life!! It was in Union square.


To the right is the Transamerica building in Union square.



Next we visited China Town. We walked down Grant Avenue which runs through the heart of the shops and eateries. We saw a fortune cookie factory and watched a lady hand make tons of fortune cookies and we spent some time in some shops buying some "authentic" made in china trinkets.


After Chinatown we headed back to the hotel for a time of relaxing before our dinner. We went to the famous House of Nanking! It was rumored that you must order what the owner suggests and it is true. Melanie went with a shrimp dish he chose, but I did choose my good ole' fave, Sesame chicken! It was so tasty!


And of course for the final step of the day we had to revisit Ghiradelli square for a delectable end to our day. This was a Rocky Road Sunday although it really just looks like a pile of whip cream. Don't be fooled it was delicious!
