San Francisco

We did it! Walked the Golden Gate Bridge on a sunny if rather windy afternoon, 80 years after it was opened. This city is crowded with tourists so patience is needed - long queues to ride the Streetcars down to Fishermsn's Wharf, packed in like sardines. Chris had a young Police Officer hanging off the side of the Street car beside her, his gun barrel was resting on her knee the whole way. Sights: Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill, the famous "crookedest Street (Lombard), the row of beautifully restored Victorian houses called 'The Painted Ladies' - the one on the end was the setting for the TV series 'Full House'. Next Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 where we saw Sea Lions at play. In the Presidio area at the south end of Golden Gate Bridge we visited the Walt Disney Family Museum, which was a nostalgic journey back to Mickey Mouse Club and all the animated movies of childhood like Cinderella, Fantasia and Bambi. And then THE BIGGIE - Yosemite Natiinal Park. So awesome - the sheer beauty of the natural landscape carved out aeons ago by glacial forces during the ice ages. Today we visited the 60's again in Haight Ashbury, which is celebrating 50 years since 'The Summer of Love'. Loved this city but tomorrow it is off to New York.
