San Francisco: Days 3 & 4

{SUNDAY}

Let's be honest. We had every intention of going running Sunday morning. In fact, we laid our clothes out Saturday night and pinky promised before we went to sleep that it would. be. happening. Well the morning came and we both woke up with tight calves and spasms. Teach US to walk 13.7 miles in one day!

Plan B. Put on those running clothes {and God's gift to San Francisco-ians...tennis shoes} and walk to breakfast. We went to Sweet Maple, a cute little breakfast nook about 2.5 miles away from home. I was craving pancakes and eggs so I opted for an egg-white omelette and a SINGLE blueberry pancake. Holy moly, it was HUGE.
Short and sweet, this was our breakfast. Finding enough room on our table was our main worry. FYI when you are walking 5 miles for breakfast, you can eat just about whatever you want! {Forget lunch.}

We spent the rest of the afternoon being lazy. Okay, we were resting up for our 6 mile journey to dinner. Two words: WORTH. IT.

We decided to have dinner at an all organic, local, sustainable Mexican food restaurant, Nopalito, but not before we had ice cream at Smitten, an ice cream trailer that makes single servings of ice cream using liquid nitrogen. DELICIOUS. Dessert before dinner is always a positive idea.

Alright, dinner at Nopalito was divine. Everything was so fresh, drinks were amazing, and these spicy, crunchy Garbanzo bean appetizers in the place of chips was such a good idea.

{MONDAY}

Monday we promised ourselves we would go running again. Fail. But we don't feel bad about it. We worked off all of our meals before we got there and experienced the unforgiving hills while walking. We had a yummy breakfast on the pier at Pepples Vegan Donuts, explored the city a bit more, packed up, and ate some pizza on our way our way out.

We love you, San Fran! Over and out.

Love,
Colin and Christina
