After our tour around the great penis in the sky Coit Tower, the crew headed to a little Italian cafe in North Beach. We sat outside and enjoyed a bottle of wine while we regrouped and planned for the evening. Andrea’s sister Liz and her hubby Charly had planned to take the kiddos back to San Jose while Andrea, Joan, Lucinda and myself stayed in the city.

We started off at the San Francisco Brewing Co. We had been trying to meet up with a couple who were friends of Lu’s. They were apparently VERY tempted by all the bars between us and them, but they finally made it. When they got to the bar, they were very happy. 🙂

We enjoyed a couple of pitchers of beer then headed back to the hotel to change clothes and prepare for the evening ahead. First stop: Haight-Ashbury and a little Caribbean restaurant called Cha Cha Cha. OMG. The food and Sangria were phenomenal.

Haight-Ashbury was dead that night. It was really strange. It wasn’t even that late…but nothing was going on. No stores were opened. No vendors were out. No bands were playing. Nada. So we decided to catch a cab–and that’s where the adventure began…

Stay tuned. 🙂
