We had a marvelous day yesterday, and it was just like we thought. It was sunny, right up until the middle of the afternoon, when it clouded over. First thing, we went and looked at the most beautiful city in the world (next to Venice) from Alameda.
Then on to BART, where we went straight the Sony Metreon, a huge glass building that houses Sony shops and arcades and a theatre and restaurants. We gazed at the wonderful floors and high glass walls, buying nothing but touching everything, and spent a brief raindroppy period in Mel’s Diner next door. We’re talking big ole french dips and a sundae the size of my head (this is becoming a welcome trend, I think).
After lunch, the sun came out again! It was one of those perfect rare San Francisco days when the wind dropped and the sun shone and people smiled. We headed, of course, to ArtFibers (our second of three yarn shops), to see my friend Kira. Greta barely got out of there alive. It is only the size of her luggage that restricts her shopping at this point. She’s already putting a box together for me to send after her. This is what makes life, good, yes?
Sounds like a great life! What fun you all are having. Did you get anything at Art Fibers? I love the pics. Thanks for sharing.
Yes indeed, this is what makes life good. Friends, yarn, and ice cream by the sea!
Sounds like a perfect day!!! and your post makes me remember EVERYTHING that I so loved about San Fran! I’m so jealous that you live there *lol* wanna trade?? huh huh huh???? *lol*
Would you like a sundae with your whipped cream? 😉
Is it the Metreon that has the Night Kitchen and neighboring Where the Wild Things Are play place?
Glad you all are having fun 🙂
I’m starving….and that ice cream is making me drool! 😉 You’re such the cutie, Ms. Rachel! I so enjoy your blog.
I have SUCH fond memories of wandering around the Bay Area on those sunny days!! What a wonderful, wonderful day!!
Next time can we come too? Please, please! 🙂 Hmmm, I don’t know what would be better, yarn or ice-cream…
Recipe for the perfect day. Yarn shopping. Non-stop yakking. Great food. And Bay Area sun. Can’t wait.
Your perfect outfit is not lost on me, Miss Rachael — is that your Lotech Sweat and your new knitting T-shirt from Stitches? (I looked for the T-shirt at White Lies online and couldn’t find it… help?)
Oh, how fun! That just sounds…marvelous. And that sundae looks so freakin’ good that I want some ice cream even though it’s 9:15 in the morning.
Can I come next time? Puh-leese?
