downtown and the mission

yesterday was my obligatory san francisco tourist day.  



i climbed the coit tower and telegraph hill




and went to pier 39 for clam chowder in a sourdough bowl

and to see the sea lions.




i walked along the water 




and across the golden gate bridge.




then julia took me out on the town.






today, i started the day with pain au chocolat and cafe au lait at tartine.  


then i toured the mission dolores.





i was tempted to buy this glow-in-the dark st. christopher necklace, but i refrained.



then i walked to dolores park.



i love the street art in this town.

  3. Hi Rachel!!

    We are visiting with your Aunt Kris this weekend. So glad to see you having so much fun in CA. We loved visiting Kerry's family there. The sunshine will finally get to you, but meanwhile enjoy. Hope to see you and talk about your trip before school starts.

    Love, Cousin Sue
