First Days in San Francisco - Before Ferry Building



Our first couple days in San Francisco were full of fun and adventure - but not winding Lombard St. or Cable Cars... We wanted to go to the Science Center. So, we looked it up in the TomTom and set off for downtown. The TomTom has gotten us many places successfully - not so much this time... well, it wasn't the TomTom's fault... the science center moved last fall - and relocated to the Golden Gate Park. This fact was clearly stated in several of my guide books, but I figured the TomTom would know that...

Oh well, we ended up in a downtown parking garage, and then Ellen from Wine and Dine Tours called to talk to me about our tour - and she suggested the Ferry Building - which was just a short 10 blocks away (maybe not 10, but it wasn't as close as we thought).

So, our first day in San Francisco we went to the Ferry Building - which is an indoor gourmet market. It was amazing - mushroom store, olive oil store, cheese store, wine store, etc., etc., etc. The coolest thing I saw was a mini mushroom farm at the mushroom store! Grow your own shiitake or tree oyster mushrooms!
