Fancy Schmancy Lunch

I've got a bit of an archery bug these days.  I really want to try out a good recurve bow and see how it treats me, even though it has been years since I've done the sport.  So with a plan in mind, Kim and I were going to go to Golden Gate Park today, picnic lunch in tow, and shoot at the range.

But alas, it was not to be.  Kim was feeling a little low on energy, and my late start on the day meant that we wouldn't be out there until 1-2pm anyway, so we quickly changed plans to get a bite to eat.  And, mulling some choices over, I agreed with her that Samovar Tea Lounge sounded like a good option.

This particular restaurant has a nice quiet eastern atmosphere, and really yummy food at relatively reasonable prices (considering the style of the place).  We both had tasty chais and shared a plate of fruit, cheese, and honeycomb.

Floor-to-ceiling windows looked out on a multitude of colorful planted flowers and the clear blue sky over Yerba Buena Gardens.

The temperature was perfect, too.  An excellent way to spend the mid-day!
