#SFHEARTSCHALLENGE! I wanted to explore San Francisco in a different way soI tried to find as many hearts in the city. Even though I was born and raised in SF, I wanted to do a Hearts Hunt! Since SF is a big city, there were no clues to look for these hearts - except for the internet! I actually used the maps that Mr. Lee Lim created. Here's the article about his adventures with his son. I found so many places I have never been to. The weather was beautiful so it was even better. Some of the hearts are in corporate buildings - about 8 hearts are in the Financial District and I couldn't see them since I went on a Saturday. There are some in private residences that I, of course could not access. I wanted to be creative so I wrote some quotes on hearts to spice the pictures up and say "I was here!" instead of just taking a picture of the hearts by itself. I wanted to leave each quote at the hearts, but it was pretty windy and I didn't want it to blow away. Enjoy and hope this inspires people to explore and visit San Francisco!
Started the adventure at Sweet Maple to get some fuel for the day. The Millionaire's Bacon was so delicious!
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
The first heart is the easiest to locate because it is in the most touristy spot - Union Square.

Unfortunately only three hearts are in Union Square. Each corner of the Square you will find a heart, but one corner is under construction, so they took the heart out and it was the Yoda Heart too!

Union Square - flowers so pretty!
Went through Chinatown to Financial District.
And all the hearts were inside closed buildings. :( SoI suggest to go on a weekday if you ever want to do this hunt yourself.
