San Francisco :: Day 3

Hello. This is Lauren. Yesterday Trey and I ventured into the neighborhoods of San Francisco. Our first stop was Chinatown.... Unfortunately, we realized that just because we are visiting this lovely city, stores still don't open until 10:00 A.M. So, this is Trey during our 1 hour wait in Starbucks for the Chinese people to come out and play with us...



Here is the funny looking monster on the gate to Chinatown...



And a picture of the main street (Grant) that runs through Chinatown...



Chinatown was interesting....lots of random stores with chopsticks and such and lots of people not speaking English. It was fun.

After Chinatown, we rode the Trolley car again (my favorite) and then we went to Haight Ashbury where I spent way too much money on fun jewelry and some clothes. We ate at a really fun place for lunch called Askew, where they put your food on a stick.....it was quality. This was a seriously cool neighborhood..good shopping and interesting people.



Our afternoon consisted of strolling through Golden Gate Park until we laid in the grass for a while. Once again, this is a very good place to watch interesting people. Then we decided to go and get our Scrabble game and sit in Union Square for a while. It was a lovely afternoon.

The highlight of the day was definelty dinner. For our 2 year anniversary, Trey took me to the Cheesecake Factory....This isn't just an ordinary Cheesecake Factory however. It is located on top of Macy's and has a terrace that overlooks Union Square. We had to wait for a little over an hour to get a seat on the terrace, but It was beautiful and well worth the wait. Here is Trey being silly.....



That is all for yesterday. Today, we have a few last adventures and then we will hop on our plane back to the east coast....
