31 Days in SF Bay: Union Square (San Francisco)

This is Day 20 of our 31 Days in SF Bay series. To read all the posts in order, start with this post, then visit the Landing Page to see the outline for the whole series.

sfbaybannerUnion Square is just a hop skip from Chinatown, so we spent many afternoons after church/youth group walking through the Stockton tunnel to Union Square. I’m sure there is more to it, but to me, it is just a ton of shopping. So, our trip to US were mainly for browsing purposes, as we were poor high school students. It was also how I got to Chinatown when I was working since the BART station was there, and I had to walk through it to get to church. This is always a fun place to bring out-of-town guests. Christmastime is a great time to come and see all the lights and the tree.
