CoffeeCup,

Sorry for not responding sooner. I've only been to San Fran once and it was on business so I didn't get to sight see that much.

I did get to go to Pier 39, which is known for their sea lions (it was okay, but not that great) and I was also lucky enough to go across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Muir Woods Forest. It's funny as a young child there was this cartoon about many of the national parks and there was a very short little part at the very end about the trees, but when I got to see the trees at long last, I recalled the cartoon.



Another place you might want to go to is the Boudin Bakery. They make Sourdough Bread there and have been doing so since 1849. You can take a tour and learn more and taste the bread and such.

I know you are into coffee, but San Fran is home to the oldest public Japanese Tea Garden in the U.S. You can go to just visit or for a tea ceremony.

Do you have something in particular you are interested in that you would like to learn about or is your passion? It would help me to be able to give you better guidance.
