We spent our afternoon driving back to San Francisco, with a little detour through Berkeley along the way. We drove up a very steep hill hoping to see some of the best homes. The houses that we saw had great views, but most were very close together and minimal parking meant that many cars had to park along the already narrow streets, sometimes parking on both sides and only leaving enough room for one car to pass. Our impression was that it's a charming, but a crowded and overly expensive place to live.
On our way back into San Francisco we drove across Bay Bridge. At one point the road was 10 lanes wide (all in the same direction). After checking into our hotel we walked to Miette, an adorable French themed candy shop (although their sweets come from many different countries), where we picked up a number of tasty treats, including macarons, chocolates, caramels, and salty licorice. The store was so cute that I actually busted out the camera...
Those sardines are really chocolates! Adorable!
Mast Brothers Chocolate - had to buy one of those! Apparently the flavor Andy bought was salty.
These cute cookies matched the wallpaper (see below).
Graham cracker, Gingersnap, and Chocolate Wafer cookies.
Pastel colored malt balls.
Macarons, gumballs, jellybeans, and more!
In keeping with the French theme we walked around the corner to The Crepe House where we had crepes for dessert. After being on the go for so long we decided to take it easy and spend the rest of the night in, resting our tired feet and enjoying a movie.

Unfortunately I didn't get a photo, but Andy also got some chocolates that looked like little pebbles. It's a really good thing that I don't like chocolate because everything looked so good I'm sure I would have wanted to try one of everything!
