Well that headline got you reading this entry.
San Francisco is a great place with contrasting old and new themes……Chianti 1989 and Ernest and Julio Gallo 2007. Had a great day out in the town on a streetcar named Desire (photo) and tour of the downtown by our friend Danielle Gordon. Got some gear from Abercombie & Fitch for my daughters (and myself). Went up the Coit Tower which has a cracking view of the city and bay. The tower was built in 1929 as a memorial to Lillie Hitchcock Coit who left $125,000 to SF for the purpose of adding beauty to the city she loved. We had a meal in the “Stinking Rose” restaurant which specialises in garlic in abundance. Needless to say we are still fighting off the smell. Finished off in O’Reiley’s Bar for a few local beers, some live music and will be heading to Santa Barbara tomorrow.
