Where to Begin?

We've had such a full and fun day that it's hard to know where to begin, so I guess I'll begin at the beginning - with the bread!

This is Edward. He works at Boudin Bakery. He let me take his picture in front of just some of the bread that Boudin bakes. It is amazing that he is so thin because the bread is delicious! I wanted it all, but confined myself to sharing one sourdough roll with Alan. It was heaven! Had I had more room, I would have eaten more, but we had already had breakfast and were headed to Chinatown for dim sum for lunch.

Now that my bread obsession has been outed, I decided that a tour of Boudin Bakery on Fisherman's Wharf was a "must-see" for the trip. There is a tour, there are windows into the bakery, where we observed the fastest croissant maker in the world, there are samples and there is a lot of bread to buy. Alan suggested that we buy some to take home, but who is he kidding - it wouldn't make it out of San Francisco.

Tomorrow I plan to use my power as the navigator for my directionless spouse to take us by Boudin again so I can purchase a loaf of the chocolate raisin sourdough bread! Going to the Golden Gate Bridge? Just past Boudin. Visiting Haight Ashbury? Just to the right of Boudin. The Museum of Modern Art (6 blocks from our hotel)? Let's just swing by Boudin first.

I am planning to suggest that they start a mail order bread of the month club!
