Our Weekend: August 18 & 19th

This was my last weekend before classes started so Hubs & I wanted to relax.

And we love street food.

Lucky for us the street food vendors in San Francisco are very organized (its like they are speaking my language!).  This weekend was the 4th Annual La Cocina Street Food Festival.  Six blocks of street food. SIX blocks.  SIX!  There was so much good food and we enjoyed catching up with some friends and making some new ones.

Cake Pops. Dessert before? I think so.

Lamb Tacos from Brass Knuckles

I have been trying to try new things like oysters, thai food, etc. (well, new for me!).  But this girl has some limits!  Don Bugito's was serving carmelized meal worms.  They were offering meal worm ice cream and tacos.  In typical fashion I just went up to a stranger and asked to take a picture of their food.  The Hubs laughs that I am always willing to go up to and talk to strangers, but I felt a picture was necessary to capture this meal!

My Weekend

What a weekend it was!  

On Friday, Hubs and I went sailing around the SF Bay.  It was so much fun, but so COLD.  Wool coat cold.  But we hard chardonnay to keep us warm!  We sailed around Treasure Island, under the Bay Bridge, and stopped by AT&T park to catch some of Giants game.  Here are some of our sailing photos:

On Saturday, Djuro and Maria came to SF to visit.  Hubs had to work this weekend so on Sunday Djuro, Maria, Ivo and I played tourist in San Francisco.   We explored Alamo Square, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, North Beach, Chinatown, and  Union Square.

We had so many unexpected adventures!  We were filmed for new a Travel Channel TV show featuring magician JB Benn. We found out how fortune cookies were made.  And we stumbled upon a Bollywood Flash Mob in Union Square!

On Monday we had a picnic in Crissy Field with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.  After lunch we explored Golden Gate Park and checked out Stow Lake.  After dinner we took a nighttime Cable Car Ride and had hot chocolate at Ghirardelli Square. 

Whew!  It was so much fun, wonderful to spend some time with my brothers, and so nice to meet Maria!
