China Town
On Monday (10/16) we spent the day running around China Town, then walking to Russian Hill, and then ending our SF trip with a walk around the inside of Grace Cathedral. China Town was quiet because we got there early (took caltrain up from San Jose) and it was a weekday. Walking down Grant Street, the tourist area, things were very quiet. Then we got over to where the locals shop and the sidewalks were packed, even in the middle of the day. We picked up a few pork buns along the way, but didn't stop at any restaurants to eat. After having our fill of China Town we walked to Russian Hill passing by a cable car museum and then going to a Morrocan Shop named La Kasbah. Then we walked to Grace Cathedral, which is a beautiful cathedral filled with excellent stained glass and other religious artwork. After spending time there we went to Union Square for a little bit of shopping and then called it a day. We saw a lot in San Francisco on this day.
