San Francisco, Fisherman's Wharf

I didn't have a whole bunch of free time while I was in San Francisco. Basically, a couple of hours each evening, and after 11 hour days I was pretty tired.

I did manage to break away on Saturday afternoon for quick lunch run down to Fisherman's Wharf.

I took a street car to the wharf



I got a beautiful view of the bay



Turtle shaped bread at Boudin Bakery


The street car ride took longer than I anticipated, so I had to rush along the wharf to find food. I stopped for the quick pic of the bay, then headed to Boudin Bakery for chili in a bread bowl. It was good -- I wish I didn't have to scarf it down the way I did. After that I sought out a stop for bus #30 - Stockton to take me back to Market St.

As for my meals, I enjoyed all of them thoroughly. My co-worker and I went to Ame for dinner Thursday night. I got Seared Maine Diver Scallops and Grilled Half Lobster Tail In Parsley Nage with Agretti and New Potatoes, which was excellent. Friday night was my trip out with two other people; we had dinner at McCormick and Kuleto's.  Mike and I are part of McCormick's Preferred Guest Program, so we obviously like the food. I think I got Halibut Cheeks (it was some kind of fish, and I just can't remember now!). I was exhausted Saturday and went out to dinner alone at XYZ. I enjoyed selections from their Dine About Town dinner menu, starting with the tuna carpaccio, following with pan seared salmon, and finishing with a crème fraîche semifreddo. It was fantastic!

I left for my journey home at 11 am PST on Sunday. I was back at our house around midnight (EST). It is nice to be home and see my boys again!

Have a Happy Day!
