San Francisco

SF is only an hour from us (Coast Guard Training Center Petaluma). We decided to stay over at a hotel and see the sights. We went yesterday morning.

There was a toll ($10). Checked in to our hotel.

We walked the couple of blocks to Fisherman’s Wharf and decided to do the hop on hop off double decker bus tour.

First stop for us was Chinatown. We walked quite a bit then had lunch – authentic Chinese sesame chicken – delicious.

Our next stop was Haight Asbury. Lots of interesting houses and murals.

Walking down the street, this had just happened.

Our last stop was Fisherman’s Wharf. Loads of shops, food and people watching. I found a backpack made in Nepal from the Himalayan gift shop. We wandered around there and ended up getting a bread bowl of clam chowder. By now it was past 6 pm and we were hungry again from all that walking!

We walked back to the hotel where we all pretty much collapsed. Vic’s pedometer said 7.5 miles.

The trip was so much fun and the food was great! All those people though! Really reminded us how much we love and appreciate our lifestyle.
