Fun in San Francisco

San Francisco is one of our favorite cities to visit. We stayed with some friends and had some good food and lots of fun.

We got our chocolate fix at Ghirardelli.We visited Chinatown.

We went tea tasting, which we'd never done before. You go in and sit at the counter and they pour you several teas to taste and tell you what they are good for, like digestion or relaxation. Our lady kept telling us the tea wasn't for "yummy yummy" but for health benefits. We ended up buying some for their taste. However, I don't remember what the benefits are for "Blue People" and "Siberian Rose".

Lots of different kinds of tea.

We also visited the California Academy of Science. It was a cool museum with a rainforest, aquarium, living reef, living roof, and a planetarium.

"The Academy's green rooftop will keep the building's interior an average of 10 degrees cooler than a standard roof would. The plants also transform carbon dioxide into oxygen, capture rainwater, and reduce energy needs for heating and cooling."
