Even though this was not our first trip to San Francisco, we did experience quite a few firsts. So what City Lights was closed on the night of Xmas, we found this quaint little cafe in the North Beach that was serving the most scrumptious cheese cake and defining cappuccino - Caffè Puccini (yea i know - we went for books and ended up with cheescake, not bad huh?).
Well actually, let's take a step back...before all that we took a drive to Santa Cruz and started off in the beach - nice and warm, something that the weather gods nod against in the Puget Sound area in this time of the year.
Next stop was Mystery Spot, a place where the law of physics behaves, well, a little intoxicated, and I kid you not, the gravity of the situation is quite serious. ;) There you will find your center of gravity off base by about 17 deg. So when you think you're standing straight - your level headed friends actually think you're looking funny, leaning forward. There if you pour water in a plank that's leaning one way, the water may actually flow towards the other direction. Why? You got me...I'm sure there's a little bit of showman hanky panky going on, but it does have a true basis.
Ok now comes the super fast exit out of this blog for (most) things we've already done before...
...posing in the golden gate, missing the Alcatraz tour, walking around in Fishermens Warf, yummy street side lobsters, caricature artists, the cable car ride, Pier 39 sea lions, real desi treat from Shalimar, Xmas tree in the Union Square, comfy goose down pillows in pickwick hotel, getting chocolaty in the Ghirardelli Square and more trips to Shalimar!
...there...
