Here we are in San Francisco. We rode the BART into the city, and walked down to Fisherman's Wharf where we picked up our GoCards. These cards, once purchased, get you into a whole list of places. Some of the things we did on the card today included a narrated boat tour of the bay, the SS Jeremiah O'Brien tour, entrance to the Wax Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art. There were other things too, but they didn't all work out, time wise.
This photo was taken from the boat as we passed under the Golden Gate bridge. The narrative was really interesting, we learned a lot about the bay, the bridge, and the skyline of the city.
Here's a picture of Alcatraz. It was pretty creepy to think of people being incarcerated there, and how desperate they must have felt. Today was beautiful... sunny and fairly warm, but this rock has to be damp and cold almost all the time just because it's in the middle of this windy bay.
We walked down Lombard Street, walked up to Coit Tower, went up to the top and looked around the city. At the end of our day in San Fran, we had a snack and a drink at a nice place down by the ferry terminal, then headed back home. A fine time was had by all.
