Flowers in our Hair

We were up early this morning to get a taxi to the airport. Once there we had something to eat and then wandered around the shops.

I really enjoyed New York and liked it a lot more than I thought I would.

The plane left for San Francisco pretty much on time. It was a six hour flight but seemed longer.

Once we arrived we caught a taxi to the hotel. The hotel looks good and is only a block or two from Union Square.

When we got to the room I called the French Laundry to confirm our booking for Saturday and then called Greens, a veggie restaurant, to make a reservation for the evening.

We then went shopping in Union Square (or at least Alicea did - I found a Subway as I was famished) and then we made our way to Greens. We went to the wrong pier to start with and had to get a trolleybus to nearer the restaurant.

The meal was really good, and the setting was lovely as the restaurant looks out over the harbour towards the Golden Gate Bridge.

When we had finished the meal we caught the bus back and then walked the last little bit back to the hotel.
