Tenderloin - I had lunch with a friend at this AMAZING Mexican restaurant! ♥
Downtown/Union Square - I went window shopping with a friend. This is something I never did before, so it was a fun new experience! We looked around at Saks Fifth Avenue and Betsey Johnson, at all the things we couldn't afford. We also checked out this designer S&M shop - whips with jewel-studded handles, ftw!
The Mission - Since first visiting there, I feel IN LOVE with Dolores Park! On our way to the opposite site of the city, my friends and I stopped here. We went to Bi-Rite, a home-made Ice Cream shop and each got some yummy treats! We then sat in Dolores Park, and had a very typical day there - people smoked weed nearby and the there was the walk-by "Wanna buy some mushrooms?". Very fun!
Fisherman's Wharf - Before leaving San Francisco, I had a very typical day here! I watched the Sea Lions for about an hour, and then looked around the shoppes on Pier 39. Finally, I grabbed some delicious Boudin bread. Yum!
Golden Gate Park - Sadly, I haven't seen 1/3rd of Golden Gate Park! However, I have been to the Conservatory of Flowers, which was AMAZING! I took SO many pictures that I plan to decorate my future home with. After that, my family and I wandered around a bit and happened upon the Carousel! I had never seen it before, but it was BEAUTIFUL - I loved how all the seats were different animals - I just couldn't pick my favorite! It wasn't opened, but I was happy to actually see it.
The Fillmore/Japantown - Not my favorite place in the city, but a friend and I went out to lunch in The Fillmore. There were a few really cute shops, and it's a nice place to walk around. After that, we wandered over to the Japantown Mall which was AMAZING! I wish I had gone there more often, because the shops are GREAT!
