We're currently in Carmel, CA and still on vacation. I'm trying to catch up with a little blogging of our journey....
SATURDAY, JUNE 23rd
We arrived with no problem at SFO. Our room wasn't ready yet at the Hotel Adagio in Union Square so we took a walk and ended up at Ferry Plaza, a really nice upscale indoor gourmet marketplace and farmer's market that's located right by the Bay. It reminded me a little bit of Chelsea Market back home in NYC but perhaps a little nicer?
We walked along the Embarcadero and made our way to a nice lunch at Waterfront Restaurant - I had the fish and chips and my wife had pasta. After lunch, we continued on and ended up checking out Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf . They're both big tourist traps and akin to Chicago's Navy Pier and NYC's Southstreet Seaport. Which then prompted me to think, why do tourists always visit these areas when they have the exact same stores/restaurants in every tourist city (Hooters, Hard Rock Cafe, Joe's Crab Shack)?
We eventually got tired and caught a ride back to our hotel. We checked in and pretty much passed out after all the walking, the 6-hour flight and the three-hour time difference.
