The Farmers' Market down by the ferry terminal was amazing as well. Never have i seen such a large variety of tomatoes, peaches, nectarines, pluots, plums and berries. It's currently peach and tomato season here in California, so as you might be able to imagine, it's quite a piece of peachylicious heaven here.
Off to a great start- The folks at united decided to upgrade me to business on the narita-sf leg of my flight! God bless their souls. The sky was gorgeous, but due to the insane brightness and my not-so-competent camera taking skills, you can't see that here.
The highly generous brother is indeed most knowledgeable when it comes to wining and dining(and some, fine, many other things of course). We went for dinner at One Market on the second night and may I say, the food was nothing short of excellent. The wood-grilled lamb that I had, brilliant. Together with the 2005 Tudor Pinot Noir, the restaurant earned my instant patronage! More importantly, it has the approval of the folks behind the Michelin stars as well. Located at the junction between The Embarcadero and Market Street, One Market is a must must go.
Photos from the Farmers' Market that goes on at the ferry terminal building every weekend. So, what goes on here is that the farmers from all over California gather on saturdays to sell their produce, and with California being the home of the hippie-movement and organic farming, the produce is fantastically fresh and yummy!(jamie you'd love it)=)
Lastly, look at what I found at the counter of one of the oyster bars at the ferry terminal. Pretty funny much. Oh, but the shop has pretty decent ahi tuna poke.
p.s. dear all who sent me off at the airport, thank you so so much for the thought and gesture. Even my granny didn't send me off=p The book was an amazing parting gift and I believe I almost shed a tear as I was looking at it on the plane.
Oh, the places you'll go.
