On The Way To San Francisco
Friday - May 27th 2016
The next highlight was already in front of us, because today we drove to San
Francisco, but not before we checked out, got a coffee at the local Starbucks
and spent some time at the lake finishing our hot beverages. After a couple of
hours of driving we arrived at the west coast around noon. First we stopped at
Chipotle in Berkeley for lunch. Since the university was basically just around
the corner, we decided to check out the campus. On the way there we stopped at
Cinnaholic for a cinnamon roll
and at
Ben & Jerry's
for the new vegan ice cream they just created. After taking a walk through the
campus, we were on our way to San Francisco, but first we had to stop at the
Pixar Animation Studios in
Emeryville. Although there's nothing to do there, I just didn't want to miss
the opportunity to get a picture of the studio entrance.

Finally in the afternoon we arrived at our motel in San Francisco. We stayed
at the
San Francisco Inn in SoMa
(South of Market). While it wasn't very fancy, we enjoyed our stay there a
lot. Our room was quiet and clean and that was all that mattered to us.
Additionally it was only a 20 minutes walk to Chinatown and just a few meters
away from the SoMa Streatfood Park, where we ate several times. After we
checked in and dropped off our belongings, we headed into the city. The first
stop was at the City Hall, and then we continued our tour via Powell Street
and Union Square towards
Chinatown. There we strolled through the shops until we returned to the hotel.

For dinner we went to the SoMa Streatfood Park's
nono Burger, where I had the best vegan burger ever. The
SoMa Streatfood Park, no the spelling is indeed right, was such a cool place that we went there
every evening. One truck was selling craft beers, while the others sold
different cuisines. It was a very relaxing atmosphere, sometimes even with
live music, to enjoy some delicious meals and beers. Afterwards we bought some
stuff at
Trader Joe's, and then we headed back to our motel.
