Trolley from Market Street to Hyde Street

It was good to be away, and it's good to be back.
It's hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that we are now nearly three weeks into June, like time should have stopped passing while I was away, yet thinking back to the first day in San Francisco feels like forever ago.

The time difference between the coasts is tough - at least in California it could be used to advantageously avoid lines at popular breakfast places, since I was wide awake at 6 a.m. This past weekend however, I felt like I had lead weights attached to my eyelids if I tried to get up before noon and falling asleep earlier than 3 a.m. was challenging.

San Francisco was one of the destinations I was most looking forward to - the iconic landmarks, the trolley, the homes built into the steepest of hills I could never fathom living in and ever being able to leave the house in heels.

For our first day there, we headed to the Trolley. The lines were long and slow moving, but we rode it twice anyway, as the place we were staying was only a few minutes from the Market Street station, and was the most direct, and fun way to get down to Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square.

The Ghirardelli ice cream shop is not to be missed - sundaes are pricey ($14) but big enough to be shared and I made sure to scrape every last bit of the fudge sauce out of the dish. I also enjoyed the seals at Pier 39.

The weather in San Francisco was confusing - we unknowingly scheduled our trip just in time for June Gloom, which we did not know about prior to our arrival and it haunted us for nearly every day we were in California - but San Francisco had the most unpredictable weather, and I think it's best described by what I saw one woman wearing: summer dress under a winter coat.
