This stunning photo of The Golden Gate Bridge at sunset was taken on on a ferry from Sausalito back to the Port of San Francisco.
Visiting the Port of San Francisco we found some great food stores, especially one of the best coffee shops called 'Blue Bottle'.
Ex-musician, coffee lunatic and founder of Blue Bottle started using a miniscule six-pound batch roaster, making a historical vow: “I will only sell coffee less than 48 hours out of the roaster to my customers, so they may enjoy coffee at its peak of flavor. I will only use the finest organic, and pesticide-free, shade-grown beans.”
Probably one of the best machiato's I've tasted in the world, they also offer traditional drip coffees plus a small eating menu, plus many delicious morsels. All beans that are left over after the 48 hour period are donated to charity - how divine!
Discovering what we thought to be one of the greatest crab places in San Fran, is Crustacean. Owned by the An family, holding 6 restaurants, 2 of which being Crustacean in San Fran and one in Beverly Hills, they have built their reputation for their special crab, garlic noodles and much more from the menu.
Employees are bound to a special contract, due to the secrecy of the some of the recipes. So much so, all orders on the special menu are given to one of the two kitchens in which no employees except for family members are allowed in or allowed to know the recipes!
Delicious prawns as a started in preparation for our crab and garlic noodles!
These cutlery didn't stay clean for long...
It didn't taste as good as it looks.. It tasted even better!

I just LOVE different architecture. San Fran has so much to offer in this category and here are a taste to share..

Going into the merchandise store, Millie bought a few kitsch souvenirs - a gold baseball and a 'authenticated keyring ring infield dirt' glued on!!
