We had a nice day today in San Francisco.  Since we were all under the weather to varying degrees we decided to take a tour – Dr. Toad’s tour of SF.  Touristy I know but it was very enjoyable.  For 90 minutes they drive you around SF in a 1920 open air touring car with blankets to keep you warm and we got to see a lot of different parts of the city we would have missed otherwise and learned a lot of interesting info about the city and we didn’t have to move a muscle.  We were going to do the cable cars after we got back but the line to get on was ungodly long, like a two hour wait, so we opted for a nap in the hotel instead.  After resting we took a walk up to the North Beach neighborhood and had a early dinner at  a small Italian restaurant, thank you Yelp.  And then dessert at Stella Pastry, yum!  I love the local places.  Much better than the crappy meal we had last night on the wharf.  Joe is really enjoying the city – he thinks he would like living here.  I’m not sure for me – it is soooo high density.  There is absolutely no extra space.  After dinner we spent some time at a playground letting Zoey use up some energy but even the playground felt enclosed due to all the buildings around it.  I do love all the local eateries and stores nestled under the apartments, and the local flavor of the different neighborhoods in the city.   I always think Austin is a big city but it doesn’t compare at all.  I’ve never lived in a larger city so just have no experience.



Blog trivia......Can anyone tell me what movie made this San Francisco house famous?  Hint....movie included a man portraying himself as a woman.  Early 1990's film.
