After all that running around town, be sure to visit
Osento Bathhouse for Women, 955 Valencia Street. Osento is a safe and non-sexual communal bathhouse. It's a great place to soak away your aches and pains and then take a cold plunge or sauna. Osento makes an effort to make sure all women feel welcome. From their website policy, "All other females 14 years and older of all races, colors, sizes, abilities, religions, affectional persuasions, pierced, tattooed, or other body modifications are also welcome here. Lesbians, straights, bisexuals, stone butches, spiked hair, no hair, blue or pink hair, grandmothers, granddaughters, professionals in business suits, strippers, blue collar, white collar, no collar, union, non-union, and all other females are welcome at Osento." What a place!
