Sunny day in San Francisco

Yesterday froommate and I took advantage of the sunny day (very rare, and oddly warm, it got into the 70's) and biked to the large farmers market at Ferry Plaza.  I knew it was going to be crowded, but wanted to see it.  It was both in and outside, right next to the Bay Bridge.  I still consider myself a tourist so took a picture!  But I was embarrassed about being a tourist so I took it quickly and didn't get a good one.  There were rows and rows and rows of expensive produce.  I got some samples.

Inside, I saw some familiar dishes...Heath Ceramics has a small permanent booth!  Our dishes come from there, and we never saw them in person before registering for them because they only have a few stores in California.  They have so many colors!  I highly recommend them if anyone's in the market.

After that, we biked up to Fisherman's Wharf which seems like Navy Pier (all tourists) but more busy and easier to get to.  We ate at In N Out.  After that, we pushed our bikes STRAIGHT up a hill for a bit to get to Lombard St, the crookedest road.  I took a picture but I'll spare you...I'm sure you've all seen it.  Also got a great view of Alcatrez.

After that, we biked past the Exploratorium, Presidio, through Golden Gate Park (stopped and had some water and an ice cream sandwich), then back home through Haight Ashbury trying to find the flattest route possible.  We managed pretty well!  All told it took about 5 hours and 20 miles, and aside from the one time we intentionally just walked our bikes, I only had to get off and walk once.  It was a great way to see the city, especially since the bike was a free loaner from the girl I'm subletting from.  I cannot wait until B gets here so we can do all this stuff together!
