If
July 19, 2008
If I were in San Francisco for Blogher this weekend, this is what I would do:
1. Hit up Napoli's Pizza, though it be in the very not nicest of guettos, for the phattest pizza in town. I mean serious though. Best pizza you could eat.
2. Run over to Blue Bottle Coffee for the most divine Americano on the planet. Not exaggerating.
3. Swing on the swings with Chinua in Washington Square in North Beach, because it was there that we fell in love.
4. Eat a breakfast burrito in the Mission, and then head for the thrift shops.
5. Go to the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park.
6. Avoid Fisherman's Wharf.
7. Head over to Clement Street for a gigantic bowl of Pho.
8. Ride the Muni.
9. Run around the Palace of Fine Arts.
10. See some beloved friends.
11. Marvel at how clean and shiny everything is. Shiver. Attempt to shop at Amoeba Records, but instead run out of the store, crying, because it's too big and confusing. (This is what happened the last time I returned from India.)

Your memory retention for the names of all these places amazes me!
I would love to go to the Park there and take the kids to all the areas where they could play. They are older now and would enjoy it so much more.
I would love to spend some time there and explore the place, instead of flying visits. I would love to go to the Library again and take them with me because it's a cool library.
wow
all in one day? wow
Ah... My hometown is just a few hours north of SF, and this made me even more homesick than usual (but in a good way!) ... Glad someone else can think of (at least a part of) "my" California as endearingly as I do :)
