San Francisco - Ferry Building






The second day morning with a stomach-full of heavy duty American breakfast from the hotel, they set out to burn some calories by riding a bike from San Francisco to Sausalito through the Golden Gate bridge. Whenever there's a chance of going to a local farmer's market, mum will jump on it. By chance, there's one next to the Ferry Building in the morning. The market was jam-packed with people and everything looked so fresh. Even the bull dog wanted a piece of the action. The bottle of pomegranate juice was so unbelievably delicious that they decided to take a picture of the empty bottle. After you tasted the strawberries there, you will find it hard to go back to the ones you get in Hong Kong.
