Most of our day was spent exploring Golden Gate Park, which spans more than 1,000 acres and is 20% larger than New York City's Central Park. It's so large that we only managed to see a small fraction of it during the time that we were there.
One of the first things we did was walk through the Japanese Tea Garden, which Andy had really been looking forward too. It was nice, but Andy left a bit disappointed. We had to pay to get in to the Tea Garden (the rest of the park is free) and it didn't seem to be worth the money.
Then it was off to my pick - the Rose Garden, where I snapped tons of photos. There were so many beautiful varieties! One thing I noticed during our time in San Francisco was that roses are very popular there. I was always stopping to admire the large, beautiful blooms.
Then we headed across the street to the Botanical Gardens, where were just in time for a walking tour. The tour was wonderful - the guide was very friendly and told us many interesting things along the way. (It was what we were expecting to get on our tour of the Palace of Fine Arts)
For dinner we went to New Delhi, and Indian restaurant just down the block from our hotel and afterwards we indulged in desert from Coldstone. The Coldstone was right next to our hotel and the sweet smell of freshly made sugar cones was too much to pass up!
