A steal of a plane ticket landed me right here in breezy San Fran! Don't be confused by my Midwest accent, Jessica bestowed me the honor of being her first ever guest blogger! My name is Amy and I'm from Madison, W.I. , and here is a glimpse into my first 2 days in this hilly city! Jessica picked me up from the airport at 11am with my sewing machine in tote (probably the weirdest item I've ever checked) we have big crafting plans to execute while I'm here. For the record the sewing tote was 3 times heavier and bigger than my suitcase. We didn't waste a minute...off to the farmers' market to do some wandering; then a tour of the adorable neighborhoods with the painted ladies (as seen on previous posts).
sampling fresh fortune cookies and being charged 50 cents to capture the moment.
Can anyone else vouch for me that street dancing is sexy? Jessica claims I was drooling....but it had to be that I was just hungry!
Famished from the days activities we decide to take the Boudin bakery tour in order to better educated ourselves on the art of sourdough bread making...and to get the samples at the end. During out delicious dinner we met an adorable local named Ricky who divulged some of the local clubbin' hot spots for one of the week's later activities. We decide to cap the night off by over-indulging in some Ghirrardelli dessert. After a day like that (and not having had any sleep the night before) I rolled into bed!
Today was the day for windey wine country. We made a pit stop at the beginning of our day at an adorable antique shop called Sonoma Country Antiques that imports handmade English housewares. Minutes later we discovered the art of sparkling wine-making and sampled some of the sparkling wines from the Gloria Ferrer Champagne Caves.
Hug a Tree!
Needing a bit of fresh air after experiencing a bit of motion sickness (the roads are so windey!) we decided to take in the amazing sights and fresh air of the Muir Woods. After seeing trees that we felt had some unspoken stories we realized that it may be our calling to write children's books about the giant redwoods. (Coming soon to a book store near you!)
This is only day 2 to of my 5 day adventure so tune in for more of my Cali getaway...this is Amy Thierer signing off =)
