Steve & Sarah were at the airport to meet us - Sarah with a splendid bump. We drove to the Embarcadero and the Fairy Building on the waterfront close to the Bay Bridge where there is a huge farmer's market every Saturday. Lovely way to stretch our legs and wander through lots of organic stalls with lovely fresh produce. After a great cup of coffee from Blue Bottle we bought sandwiches from one of the stalls and sat on a bench for lunch. While taking this photo two young mums with babies in prams asked if we'd like them to take a photo with all of us. They were sisters, one from Jakarta, who met up here. While chatting to the one sister called Heather, Sarah mentioned that she has a friend there called Sarah who was getting married - amazing 'sliding doors moment' when Heather said 'I don't believe it - she's my best friend" - So photos were taken and immediately sent by iphone. Oh the wonder of modern technology!
I love San Francisco - S&S live in the inner city where the houses are mostly terrace houses painted in pastel colours with lovely facades - and pretty gardens. Driving around is rather like being on a roller coaster with steep hills being a challenge to anyone who doesn't have an automatic drive.
