Seriously, how I am going to get back to real life after this trip I do not know. Long ago Jonathan and I had to start asking each other what day it was and now, now I have SF to contend with which makes me think (just a little bit) in my head that possibly I could be an honorary local or something.
So, we arrive - 101 degrees, the roof is down we cross the Golden Gate Bridge (seriously cool) and arrive at our hotel. We unpack, ask concierge for a dinner reservation explaining vegan/non-vegan requirements. Oh you want to eat at Plant then, says she. What is Plant I hear you ask (no, really I do). Oh just a vegan, gluten-free and meat restaurant (clearly not all in the one dish - that would be somewhat unpleasant) on Pier 3. We had a table outside and the most magnificent vegan cheesecake in the world (hmmm - need to go back to Toronto to test that theory). It was such a great first day in SF and such a great first meal. I can't believe that we only have three days here (two now) so we need to make them good ones; tonight is Millennium for dinner and I know that some of you know that we are in for a treat ;-).
Off to explore some shops now (ooh didn't mean to admit that) then (this one is for any Tales of the City readers) may go and find Mrs Madrigal's house.
Until the next post, AD xx
Sharyn and I are assuming that you are freezing samples of all your culinary adventures for us to try on your return. Thanks.
ReplyDeletePS – wonderful photographs of the bridge.
Ah yes about that......
ReplyDeleteAnna, we have had to have another read of your blog as we have started planning our route home. We fly to LA from Fiji in September and your blog has convinced us to rent a car and head up to San Francisco. Are there any towns you would recommend we stop to see on the way? x Amber x
