Californy Is The Place You Ought To Be

We had our 20th wedding anniversary in May, so we decided we needed to take a big trip in celebration. We did NYC a few years ago, so we thought we should go the other direction this time and decided on San Francisco.

We had an early flight out of Little Rock and got to SF before noon. After checking into the hotel we headed to find some lunch and fortuitously came upon the Daily Grill right off Union Square. I had fish tacos and it was a 3 FPW lunch.

After strolling through Union Square we headed up, up, up the hill on Mason Street and down the other side. All that talk about SF having steep hills is right on the money.

Near the bottom of the Mason Street hill on the north side, we came to the cable car museum. The giant motors that pull the cables beneath the streets are in open view. The whole system is pretty fascinating.

Next we took a jaunt through Chinatown to our hotel, which was located a half block to the official China Town Tourist Entrance. I guess there’s never a boring day in China Town.
