San Francisco & Livermore

We've headed north after the wedding. We are up in Livermore, CA at Mike's sister's house-- just on the other side of the bay and a bit inland from San Francisco. Heather and I headed into SF yesterday, to tour around. We walked the Embarcadero from pier 1 down to pier 41... hitting all the crazy sights along the way... We basically walked a giant circle around downtown... Embarcadero / Van Ness / Geary / Market... It was a great day in SF, meaning slightly sunny combined with 60 degree clouds, crazy people, wild stores, and too much to visit. We visited a place we went on our honeymoon, the Buena Vista, and went into a Borders books to find a place for dinner. We ended up at an old joint -- pretty packed (a good sign) called Tadish Grill. Boasting about being the oldest restaurant in CA -- The cioppino was excellent as well as the mixed seafood saute. We sat at the dinner bar and enjoyed the hustle and bustle of a popular place before heading home on the "bart" train back to Mike's sister's place. Next up -- Redwoods.
