The main goal of this trip was to renew my and Mila's Swiss passport...then we decided to extend a little bit our stay to enjoy this beautiful city ;-)
 |
| It does not seems too far to drive...yet we took the plane over the Rockies, beautiful!! |
 |
| The Rocky Mountain from our plane from Denver |
We rented out an apartment on VRBO.com (vacation rental by owner) and we found a really nice place in the heart of the city:
 |
| Perfect location in SF!! |
The owners were really nice (David and Vallie) and the place absolutely gorgeous (in an historical victorian house), perfect for a family of 3. The neighbourhood (Duboce Triangle) is really a nice area, close to the exciting "Market Street" and at about 15min by tramway to the piers.

What was really cool, was to have a French bakery just next door!!

San Francisco probably has hundreds and hundreds of bakery...and compare to Denver metro area (at a rare few exceptions), they are AWESOME!!!
 |
| At "Tartine Bakery & Café"... |
