Heidi and I were in San Francisco for our Anniversary day. We spoke with an older couple who's son lived in San Fran, so we got the low-down on where to go. They suggestd the most crooked road; Lombard Street, The Golden Gate Bridge, which we saw in the Fog, Alcatraz Island, and this little "Coffee Shop" calles Buena Vista. We left early on Wednesday to beat traffic and found that the town doesn't really wake up til 9. So we were there at 7:30 and went looking for the coffee shop. "it's a wonderful place that serves great coffee. It is where Irish Coffee got it's start in the US" Cool we thought, let's get some coffee. They didn't open until 9 so we passed it up and decided to get our coffee before we take our 54 mile trip back to Windsor. When we finally got back to Buena Vista it was 10:30 pm. We went in and didn't fully realize it was a bar. So we sit at the bar and "it's ok, we're only going to get coffee and then we'll leave" They heat up the glasses with hot water, pour it out, drop in 2 sugar cubes, pour in some hot coffee and then added a nice swig from this green bottle and topped it with foamy cream. We tasted our "recommended" drinks and found that whatever they put in it was not flavored syrup. It was the hardest liquor both of us had ever tasted and then we wanted to leave. We didn't even know how much the drinks cost and couldn't leave without paying so all in all, our coffee experience was not what we expected. We left our cash and drove an hour home never having coffee the whole day!
Here are some photos from our foggy drive in. this is looking at the towering posts that hold up the Golden Gate Bridge. (by the way, did you know it costs $5 to cross the bridge?)
