It had been over 3 years since I’d visited my best friend, Mary Kay, and her wife, Laura, in SF. I was overdue for a visit and wanted to have some fun new adventures. We packed a lot into 72 hours! MK planned ahead and made a reservation a month in advance at Chez Panisse, Alice Waters iconic restaurant. I can’t believe I’d never been.We dined at the cozy cafe upstairs and it was soooo good! The ambience upstairs is more relaxed, but just as quaint as, the stuffier, downstairs restaurant (not to mention less expensive.)
Friday: ferry ride to and from the city; exploring the De Young Museum’s two exhibits: Fashioning San Francisco & The photographs of Irving Penn; a ride in a driverless Waymo car; an Irish coffee at The Buena Vista Cafe; and a lovely dinner at the little French bistro, Cote Ouest. Here’s our day in pictures …
Oscar de la Renta, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, to name a few. No surprise that I loved the last two funky, fun pieces by Japanese artist/designers Junya Watanabe and Kei Ninomiya.
Saturday: A day on Treasure Island (where I’d never been before) … checking out the crafts fair, picnicking while watching sailboats go by and a glass of wine with an awesome view of the city.
You cannot direct the wind, but you can adjust the sails!
Loved this! Miss San Francisco and Mary Kay!
All I can say is WOW you all packed a lot of fun into three days!!!
So FuN hanging with long time friends! And you always enjoy the best adventures – cheers and it’s nice seeing MK and Laura since it’s been a year🙌🏻
