Destination two?
The Ferry Building. Built in 1898, it was the absolute focal point of bay area boating transportation. If you were going anywhere in or out of the bay by water, you went here. The bell tower was meant to welcome visitors into the bay. And it welcomed us as we went into the building, which has now transformed into office spaces and an amazing retail area. I like to believe that it's just a permanent indoor farmer's market. My boyfriend and I went on a Thursday, which just so happens to be one of the days when the farmer's market and arts & crafts faire occurs out front of the building. We enjoyed ice cream, cheese, tea, and coffee, just not all together.

And look at just a few of the photos we took while at the Ferry Building.
Alex wearing a hand-crocheted knit cap outside at the arts & crafts/farmer's market area. What a looker!
Mushrooms and some employees at the Far West Fungi shop. The shop has tons of beautiful mushrooms and the truffle salt is completely amazing. View their website

Imperial Tea Court. Amazing Jasmine Oolong tea. First time I had ever drank out of that kind of cup.
Blue Bottle Coffee Company has some great caffeinated drinks.
I highly suggest going to the Ferry Building in the near future.
