Eclecticism and the City, Part 1

My trip to San Francisco this summer was amazing and I loved being in the big city where hundreds of different cultures and ethnicities blend so easily. There was a vibrant vibe while the people I passed on the streets all seemed somewhat relaxed. There was not an overwhelming hustle and bustle which you feel in some other big cities.

 

On Haight street my husband and I ate tapas at Cha Cha Cha and then moved on to Middle Eastern cuisine at Kan Zaman where people were smoking from hookahs. Sadly, we missed the belly dancers.

 

 

 

 

 

We strolled through China Town and Little Italy on the same afternoon and enjoyed lunch in Fisherman’s Wharf at Tarantino’s. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt on Union Square (which was wonderful) and did a little shopping. We visited the Museum of Modern Art where we enjoyed the Georgia O’Keefe and Ansel Adams exhibit the most.

 

 

 

 

 

Seeing the Golden Gate Bridge and the famous Painted Ladies was a thrill. Ghirardelli Square is neat — even the bars there have character with ivy growing on their brick walls. Sausalito was surprising and romantic. It was cool to be in this charming town full of dog lovers and cyclers and to look across the bay at the San Francisco skyline.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In summary, our trip to San Fran was a 10! If you have a chance to visit, don’t hesitate to go.
