Sunset + Good Food + Irish Coffee = Bliss!


Last night we went to Alioto's for dinner. We had a great spot with a great view and got this sunset picture. The last time I ate at Alioto's was probably in the late 60's when we had relatives visiting from Louisiana. My Uncle Charlie asked if he could have a dozen crabs and the waitress said, "Honey, I don't think you can eat a dozen crabs!" You see, in Louisiana the crabs are small and not much meat, but here in San Francisco the Dungeness crabs have loads of meat in the body as well as the claws. Tonight I had the Petrole sole which is a really mild white fish and I've never been disappointed when ordering this particular fish. After dinner we walked over to Buena Vista for our Irish Coffee. What I love about Buena Vista is not just the Irish Coffee but the atmosphere, the waiters who will talk your ear off and the people that have come in to see what it's all about.

Today, we took the ferry over to Sausalito and back. Did a little window shopping and walking around. The bay was beautiful with sailboats everywhere and I think we actually got sunburned while up on the outside deck. And, I must say, that all the times I've ridden on that ferry I never sit outside because it's too cold - not today!




Tonight we will head on over to North Beach
and see what's going on over there.
