Day 5: After rambling through the sensory overload that is Chinatown, Studhubs and I spent most of the day in and around the
Ferry Building Marketplace...soaking up the sun, eating hamburgers and people watching. In the evening, we walked through Union Square (and Anthropologie, of course), then ate at the Cheesecake Factory and took in the view of Union Square from the eighth floor of the Macy's building before flying home to Indiana. And just like that, our week in California was over. Sigh...

Day 4: So we take the bus all the way over to these beautiful
Victorian homes and walk through Golden Gate Park and I've begun to think
I love this city. There's an atmosphere of structure and order--like there's a mutual recognition that things are supposed to be cohesive and beautiful. And in spite of the constant threat of earthquakes, the architecture is so very, very...on purpose. I love that.

Day 3: I was not prepared to be blown away by the
Palace of Fine Arts in the Presidio. But I
had been warned to walk through Fisherman's Wharf one time then take my money and run.
Good advice.
The highlight of the day was the five hours we spent on
Alcatraz Island touring the drafty cell block and feeling sufficiently creeped out...which was perfect, actually, considering it's the only maximum security prison (of it's day) we've ever walked through. Night Tour highly recommended
. Ultra creepy.
