City on the Bay

Thursday we went to San Francisco. We both have been there on different occasions for business, but never had time to check out the city. It was an interesting drive in to San Francisco and I was happy when we found a reasonable parking garage near Fisherman's Wharf. We saw Alcatraz from the distance and

I really tried to get a good picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, but it is amazing how the whole bay can be clear and this darn bridge is sitting in the fog.


Fisherman's Wharf was a zoo. I was amazed how many tourist were there, you sure can't tell here that there is a recession going on in this country.

Being in San Francisco you have to check out the Boudin sourdough factory and it was actually pretty interesting.

We decided to blow off the diet for a day and just enjoy the city and its foods. Since checking out the city by car was out of the question, we decided to take one of these double decker bus tours.

It was truly the best way to see San Francisco. From downtown to Union Square to China Town and so many more places, we did not know where to look first. It is very interesting how they have these beautiful old buildings right in between all the high risers.





We had a blast!!!
