This Sunday I was invited along with Shannon to brunch in the city at this great cafe called Ti Couz. We met up with Diane, Maria, Tara, Istvan, David, and Annette and then dove into the yumminess that started with the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve ever had and progressed into crepe heaven (spanish sausage, cheese and mushroom sauce), (roasted red pepper with corn and an avocado cream sauce), after which we finished up with dessert crepes of (nutella and chocolate gelato) and (coconut and vanilla gelato flambe). Oh how happy my tummy was. What a way to start the day, wonderful company and tasty food. 🙂
After much merriment, it was time to continue on with the day, Shannon and I were off to Golden Gate park to go an play in the Japanese Tea Gardens. I’ve always heard about them and was interested in visiting, but never had an opportunity. It was a bright an beautiful sunny day as we wandered through the park, into the Japanese Gardens, across the park, and then over into the Botanical Gardens. Lots of people were out, the weather was perfect, and we got to explore for quite a few hours. I need more days like this.
There’s Hakone Gardens down here I’ve been meaning to go to. Now you’ve added another for me to try and visit! 🙂
Hakone Gardens eh? I’ll have to check them out, I forgot how much fun it was to just wander around gardens and parks on sunny days. I’m thinking of grabbing a Lonely Planet book for the Bay Area and playing tourist in my own back yard for this coming summer.
