I believe you, I believe! Might that be likely to help you get your blog translated into Russian? English is actually my second language.

Wow, I’ve been down there a few times but missed all the shops you showed! My husband is going to love you the next time we go there and I tell him allllll the new places I want to go. Yay!

OHHH your post makes me miss SF so bad! I used to live in Northern California, so SF was a hop, skip and jump away. Now I need to plan a trip! And now I am verrrry hungry…!

I was in San Francisco for Fleet Week about 20 years ago. Yikes! But we saw and did a lot of the same things you posted here. Thanks! I forgot how much fun that trip was and your post brought it all back to me! Glad you had such a great time. I love San Francisco!

I love San Francisco. It’s truly my favorite place we’ve ever been. When I become independently wealthy (crossing my fingers) we will move there. Until then, I’ll just dream about it. =)

Lovely photos.

Sigh…my hubby and I were just in SF last month for our 25th wedding anniversary. We’d never been there before and I absolutely fell in love with this gorgeous city. All the pictures brought back warm, fuzzy feelings. In fact, I am sitting here right now in my SF hoodie! :-)

My husband and I used to live north of the city in vine rich Sonoma County…not too far from Petaluma, actually! We loved to go to the city when we had friends and family visit and would do all of the touristy stuff, but my favorite memories are when we would go for a day and just walk those famously steep streets, sipping coffee, and shielding our bodies from icy fog, or the days we would spend walking through Golden Gate Park, taking it all in…walking over the bridges in the tea gardens, enjoying a day at a museum, or just napping an afternoon away (and being surprised we hadn’t been robbed while doing so!) We loved to watch the Giants play in Pac Bell Park–and when we lived there, Barry Bonds was in full swing…those home runs would fly high over the wall, and eager collectors in boats would race to retrieve them from the water. I miss the sounds of the city: beginning with the drive over the Golden Gate Bridge and the sound of the lane indicators bumping under the cars, fog horns, traffic, trolley cars, people busying about, foreign languages too numerous to count, talented people playing music on the sidewalks, and the sounds of coins clinking in their cans or cases as people rewarded them for their efforts. San Francisco is truly a city to behold–and my memories of it remind me of happy times.

I went to San Francisco in May for my birthday and to visit friends. My sweetheart and I went to many of the same places you visited. I haven’t tried the Pier Market Seafood Restaurant though…Will definitely go there on my next trip to the city…

We honeymooned in SF and this post made me want to book a flight to go back. We stayed in Union Square and were there over New Year’s. It was absolutely magical. One of our favorite cities in the world.
