of friends\u2014took a double-decker tour bus through san francisco as a &#8216;christmas outing&#8217; of sorts. how fun to see the city this way! it was also an easy way to be together and in the midst of a busy month, that&#8217;s pretty much the top of my priority list.<\/p>\n<p>i must say that i now highly recommend taking a tourist tour of your local city! even if it&#8217;s your hometown (while sf is not, i would never think to take a tour), it&#8217;s amazing to see all the interesting historical facts that lie around every corner (we went with &#8216;<a
