San Francisco, California

Her first trip to San Francisco, Jane asked to see the usual sights. In addition to the traditional tourist spots, I took Jane on a tour of my favorite San Francisco spots.

 
Transamerica Pyramid.

Alcatraz Island.

Among the hydrangeas on Lombard Street.


Lombard Street.  

Ghirardelli Square fountain.

Ghirardelli Square.

Aquatic Park and tallship.

Taking in the shade on Fisherman's Wharf.

Sampling Recchiutti Confections at the Ferry Building. Lemon verbena appears to be her favorite!

Miette. Lovely macarons in vanilla, hazelnot, raspberry and chocolate. Modern, cheerful, and always delicious, Miette is San Francisco's most charming pastry shop.

 A stop at Book Passage, where Jane guided me to my latest purchase!

 Riding the Van Ness & California Street Cable Car.

After such a lengthy walk -- 4.9 miles, to be exact -- Jane needed a rest once we returned to the hotel!
