California adventures---San Francisco, Day 1


On Sunday morning, after a nice service at E's church, we had another great meal: a brunch at a cute eatery called Dipsea cafe. After saying good-by to E's precious son, M and I started the drive to San Francisco, but, of course, couldn't pass the temptation of stopping by the Marin Headlands one more time for some extra shots of the bridge. Here are some more (I'm noticing a pattern and an emerging obsession with bridges).



After dropping off the rental car at SFO and experiencing BART, the San Francisco metro, we experienced another San Fran public transportation system and a must-do, the cable car. It was fun to ride up and down the city hills, enjoying great views of the city and the most crooked street (really windy street that is surprisingly open to one-way traffic).

The rest of the afternoon was spent exploring Fisherman's Wharf, trying out some of the local delicacies (clam chowder in a sourdough bowl), exploring the fun shops at Pier 39, and walking all the way down the Embarcadero (street along the water) to the Ferry Building while enjoying the views of the Bay Bridge. After a long day of walking down the city streets, we happily settled into our hotel for the evening.
