San Francisco - Day 2

We started the day by watching some football in our hotel room then heading over to the Ferry Building.

There was also a market across the street selling paintings, jewelery, and housewares. There were a lot of quality products and I bought a really cool necklace.

The Ferry Building is my heaven on earth. Their farmer's market was wonderful. There were types of produce there that I'd never heard of before. And they had a nice cooking demonstration going on.

The inside was my true love though. So many wonderful stores selling delicious goodies.

And samples everywhere! I think we could have made a meal from the samples alone.

We decided to get some cheese from Cowgirl Creamery, bread from Acme Bread, and a ham and fontina with honey sandwich from Lulu Petite to share. Delicious. I seriously could eat lunch at the Ferry Building every day for a month and not run out of things to try.

We headed next to Union Square. The Husband found a sports bar to watch some more college football and I did a little bit of shopping.

Then on to the cable cars. There was a huge huge line at the Powell Street turnaround. So being the very smart people that we are, we went half a block down from where they were loading. All the cars stopped there, we hopped right on because for some reason they don't actually fill the cars at the turnaround, and we actually got prime spots, hanging on the side of the car right at the front. And we missed an hour or more wait in line. Another option is to ride them at night. There was no line and I'm sure the city looks cool all lit up.

We got off the cable car at Lombard Street and walked down.

These awesome little cars can be rented for the day. They're called Go Cars. The car has a GPS tour in it that tells you where to go. Very expensive though.

We went over to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 to see the sea lions.

Then climbed Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower.

And saw the Transamerica Pyramid on the way back to our hotel.
