I wanted to leave town, but didn’t feel like traveling. I
used to like traveling, but it’s not fun anymore. They search innocent people
to death while the guilty walks free.
There are so many drug dealers and weapon sellers who have
private jets and travel without ever getting searched. The politicians and
government officials who set these idiotic rules never have to go through the
stupidity that they have set up for us. Take your shoes off, raise your hands,
turn around and etc. So ridiculous and pointless. It’s almost like the government
wants to make sure that you are subservient and that you do as you are told
like a mindless idiot.
Climbing up this hill was tough, but well worth it. It goes
all the way to the Coit Tower for a scenic view. At the opposite end is Lombard
street.
When
I said that I was going to San Francisco for the day, everyone said, “that’s crazy. Why
don’t you spend at least one night there?” Well, I’ve been to San Francisco many times and besides that’s
what’s so fantastic about living in Los Angeles. We have everything and are so
spoiled. Our city is like a vacation haven and when we need a change, all we have
to do is travel one hour in any direction and we can be in a completely
different place. And if we don’t take advantage of this, what’s the point of
living here? We might as well save our money and go somewhere where the cost of
living is much lower.
My flight to San Francisco was only one hour. Again, I hate
getting searched as though I have done something wrong, but the hell with them. I’m determined
not to let the idiots spoil my fun.
Bought some candy here for a friend who asked me to bring back some chocolate.
My friend and I had to have the hot fudge Sunday at Ghirardelli
because no place else does it as yummy as they do.
Walk, bike, cruise, eat and shop. I loved the creativity of
the street vendors. So artsy.
An
interesting cigar place. Too much sun no matter where I stood to take this shot.
Oh well...
Oh yeah,
I almost forgot the Duck Tour, but I already did this when I was in Boston years
ago.
My friend
who couldn’t come with us on this trip swears that this place has the best
Irish coffee.
The
Boudin bakery has a café, a nice bistro and a bread making museum.
I was
fascinated by the family who started this bakery and how bread was made in the
1800s. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time there. Here are more photos:
Once we
left there, we ran into the below vendor. Although he didn’t want his picture
taken, he was so kind, friendly and helpful. He told us that his wife made
these beanies. I bought two for my nieces.
From
there we headed out to the opposite side of the city - The Golden Gate Park. We
wanted to see the conservatory of flowers and boy were we in for a surprise.
It was
amazing. I can easily spend an entire day at this park.
The Park is huge like a forest and the
air is so fresh and clean. There are so many joggers, people biking, and
families with children; not to mention the many sightseeing areas. Unfortunately, it was getting late and we didn't
have as much time as we wanted to spend at the Park. So, we passed most of
our time at the conservatory of flowers which was wonderful. This place is highly
recommended.
