"I left my heart in San Francisco!" What an incredibly beautiful city! We are having an amazing time in this stunning city....... had dinner last night in a gorgeous Italian restaurant called "E TUTTO QUA" on Columbus Avenue. Absolutely amazing and the best risotto I have had apart from my own! Lisa at Hamptontoes loves it and added prawns instead of chicken! No seriously, I make a very gluggy risotto not wet and this was perfect. Accompanied by a fabulous rocket, grape and parmesan and balsamic salad .... and all was good with the world! We walked from The Fairmont Hotel through China Town to get there and then had to walk back up those incredible hills!!!!! Walked off the panna cotta! We had the most gorgeous bottle of wine by Francis Ford Coppola .... a chardonnay with the perfect bouquet!
Today we went down to Fisherman's Wharf via the cable car and experienced great views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Afterwards, we caught a cab to see the famous "Painted Ladies" and how beautiful they were basking in the late afternoon summer sun. I am a great fan of Victorian Gothic architecture and San Francisco has it in abundance. It is a combination of Italiante and Gothic Victorian detail. The delicate detail, the timber facades and bay windows with elegant tracery fretwork is inspiring and leaves me feeling awe inspired!
We are already making our mark ...... The Aussies are in town!!!!
Love this city!

Hey San Fran Franny, I can't believe how much you have packed into one single week. What a ride! Lap all the beautifulness up......It is so good to hear your voice, and trace your steps, via Blogland. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe! Stay radiant! X
How fun! I haven't been back forever. My husband and I met, married and lived there for many years. I laughed when I read about walking those hills (I miss the bum I had from walking to work over Russian Hill everyday!) Isn't the food fabulous! Let me know if you're coming to Los Angeles and would like to get together.
