Sutro Baths


  1. cardigan - thrifted
  2. skirt - u.o.
  3. toggle coat - thrifted
  4. black wellies - thrifted
  5. lil' brooch - thrifted
Oh boy, where do I begin about yesterday. . . it started out so incredibly lovely. I had been wanting to go to the sutro baths for the longest time, so I was so excited when we got to go! I guess being from California, we don't have much by way of ruins, so I was happy that there were some hiding right under my nose in San Francisco.  I was so glad it was raining and stormy and beautiful. I even packed my wellies for the occasion (best decision ever). It really could have been a perfect day. 
Basically it was a huge swimming complex built in the late 19th century, with seven different swimming pools. It burned down in the sixties, but you can still wander around the entire thing. Which I actually find shocking because it seems really really dangerous. But whatevs. . . Also part of Harold and Maude was filmed there. What's not to like??
So after doing all of our exploring, we came back to the car to find Max's window smashed in and my purse stolen. iPhone, iPod, debit card, id, favorite makeup. . .sigh. Not tom mention shards of glass everywhere. So, the day ended with going to the police station and a cold ride home. Wah wah. . .oh well, c'est la vie. It was still a really fun day, and Max was so sweet. Doesn't he look dapper in his sweater? Cutest boy ever.
