San Fran

My visa appointment went smoothly, which is an absolute miracle. Mom and I got up 3 hours early to finish printing my documents and passport pictures. I was sick to my stomach the entire time because 1)there was a confirmation I hadn't received yet, and 2) a visa takes 2-3 weeks to process and I'm leaving for Europe on Monday...yikes. Basically the man on the other side of the plexi-glass during my appointment could have crushed all my travel plans if he wanted. I am a very lucky girl


I finally got my appetite back and it was only fitting to have a french breakfast :)




Ironically, I just read a review in the Wall Street Journal on a San Franciscan restaurant named Alioto's. Mom and I found it almost right away and got to business on our seafood. Isn't she cute in her bib?!




This is the Palace of Fine Arts. I could have spent a whole day there, it was beautiful


That would be Alcatraz to the left of her head ;)


Ghiradelli Square...as about delicious as it sounds






Lombard Street...it was actually built like that to stem traffic flow with its zig-zags, but that plan kind of backfired


CHINATOWN!


We rode the trolley from Fisherman's Wharf up through Russian Hill and down to Union Square. We waited quite a while at one of the stops because every trolley passing by was full. We decided to hike a little and wait til the crowd thinned out, which was actually the best plan. Otherwise, we might have missed our flight!!
