Sunday – Saturday: What I Saw In San Francisco 8/5 – 8/11
Fog. There were definitely some sun shining days in San Francisco this week but one of the things that I saw a lot of at the beginning of the week was fog. It’s a common thing here in San Francisco and it would be pointless to complain about it since it’s going to be a part of life as long as I’m living here. But I do have to say that it makes me miss the sun sometimes and makes me definitely appreciate it on the days that it’s out.
Another thing I saw was that clown that I’d mentioned in a previous post. You know, the one that was playing the trumpet down by the cable car turnaround. Well, this time I got a glimpse of his sign and I saw that it reads, “Clown is seriously depressed. Please don’t make him cry.” I can understand; it must be tough being a clown on the streets of San Francisco. The travelers at the turnaround seemed to enjoy his song, though.
I saw that there’s a new flavor of gelato at the gelato place near Washington Square Park in North Beach. It’s a gin and cucumber flavor that is tangy. Interesting, but not something that I would want an entire cup or cone of. I prefer the independent gelato place anyway (that one is the chain store) and I prefer spumoni to any other flavor that can be found.
I finally saw the inside of Panta Rei while I was over there. It’s the Italian restaurant that is located at the funny intersection of about five different streets in the area where Columbus hits Stockton. I’d never been inside before. It’s not much different from any of the other Italian restaurants that are over in that area, although it has a unique triangular design that lets you look out at both North Beach and Chinatown from one spot.
