Whew! I had quite a day in San Francisco and I’ve got even more coming up today. Yesterday I walked about 9 miles, and my feet hurt!
Today’s What I Ate Wednesday is a recap of my day and all the food I ate. If you’re unfamiliar with WIAW, head over to peas and crayons to check it out!
For breakfast we headed to Bette’s diner, my friend is a regular there, so I followed her recommendation and ordered the herb and cheese omelet, it was delicious!
After finding the house from Full House,
my friend dropped me off to explore since she had to work a few hours. On her recommendation I got a cafe au lait from La Boulange.
I knew San Francisco had a lot of hills, but these hills were SO much steeper than I imagined!

I walked all the way to the water then headed towards Fishermen’s Wharf.
Of course I also stopped at Ghiradelli for a sample:
I also stopped at Boudin for a sourdough bread sample. So good! (Just a bite of glutinous bread doesn’t seem to bother me).
Next I was in search if the “squiggly street” which is a section of Lombard.
And after that it was off to Polk St to walk around. I had lunch there, at I spot I found through Yelp called Square Meals. I got a trio of salads, both gluten free and vegan, and they were absolutely delicious.
There was a David’s Tea right next door so I stopped in for a drink!
From there I headed towards Coit Tower, a large white tower on top of a big hill. A BIG hill! But I made it up there and the view from the tower was spectacular.
From the tower I headed to the Ferry Building to meet up with my friend. We shared a pretzel from Mariposa, a gluten free bakery.
We also sampled a few cheeses and I got these chocolates (not eaten yet).
We headed out to Lands End trail to walk with her dog. I was literally blown away, I felt like I wasn’t even in the US anymore.
After our walk we went to Comstock for a drink. Again, I took my friend’s advice and ordered her favorite drink, which was gin with sugar, lemon and mint.
We dropped her dog off and headed out for dinner. I completely forgot to take a picture but I had a little personal sized Shepherds Pie, very good!
I was pretty much wiped out, it was a long day! Plus more adventures to come today!
Edited to add: I apologize for my slow response to emails, I’m only using my computer to upload pictures and post. I’ll be back at it by Sunday, thank you for your patience!
