The City

Hooray for a wonderful 1st year anniversary celebrated in San Francisco!! Our hotel was great, we would recommend it to anyone. Hotel Rex is a super quaint boutique hotel with lots of personality. We enjoyed Friday night live jazz the first night and every night we received a complementary glass of wine. And it was close to everything-- we walked everywhere.During our trip, we did the classic tourist spots: Alcatraz, the Wharf, Pier 39, Coit Tower, Phantom of the Opera Performance, Chinatown, Union & Fillmore St. Shops, Union Square, Embarcadaro/Ferry Building-- Sat. morning for the farmer's market. They were all great! We did hit a snag Sunday morning, when I went to print out our theater tickets. I realized that I bought them for the night before--Saturday! It was such an ordeal thereafter with lots of stress and worry (on my part). William was fabulous & even when the phone customer service was no help at all, he was totally calm. We were SO THANKFUL that we were given seats after we walked down to the theater and talked to someone in person. It all turned out great, but had such potential to be a disaster! Phew! :) Here we are, relieved to be given some grace by the box office.
We also tried to do some non-tourists things which now as I list them, may seem a bit random: post office, public library/Chinatown branch, goodwill, local leather/shoe service shop, Safeway, and hole-in-the-wall restaurants. The places we went to eat were all fabulous and definitely full of city people. :) I'm not sure how much we blended in-- especially with William's cowboy hat & boots.

It was also such a blessing to have so much free time together. And we both can't believe how fast the year has passed. It's so awesome to experience what just one year can do to our intimacy, connection, and understanding of one another. We can't wait to see what the future years will bring as we grow together! One mutual revelation: we're both still working on mastering the whole mind-reading thing. We figure a lot of our miscomunications would be solved by this simple skill. ;) Ha!!
