Sunday, Aug. 15, 10 a.m.
Meet: Holy Trinity Cathedral (Van Ness Ave. & Green)
Perk up your Sunday morning with the bell ringing at the oldest Orthodox Christian parish in America. Spared destruction from the 1906 disaster, Cow Hollow contains structures from nearly every decade since the 1860s. This tour illustrates the transformation of the district from a rural suburb to a full-fledged city neighborhood. See the only remaining natural spring still flowing in Cow Hollow, and the unique Vedanta Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in the western world. After the tour, have lunch on Union Street and explore its unique shops. Free (donations welcome), 415-557-4266, sfcityguides.org
