Day 8: Saturday (Where did we wake up today?)

Could today have been any more different than yesterday?  I suppose it could have been, but we certainly felt like we have been transported to a different universe. From the serenity of the wild lands of Yosemite to the manic city of San Francisco. It's a little crazy.

It all started out calmly enough. Here's where we ate breakfast. Yes, that's San Francisco spread out below our temporary home in Noe Valley which ironically doesn't seem like a valley at all.


We spent the day walking through the town (okay, part of the time we were riding the bus). We visited the Farmer's Market and the arts and crafts stands across the street.


We walked down along the waterfront to Pier 39 and beyond. Ate lunch at a restaurant with a window seat and this view:


After lunch we headed over to the Golden Gate Bridge to see if it was still in good shape. Bob has been to San Francisco several times. I've been only once, way back in 1998. This doesn't get old.



I'm sure we'd get used to the bus routes if we were here for more than two days, but we did make it back to our lodging for a quick rest before heading out to Lupa Trattoria for an amazing dinner.

I don't know if I've ever been in a city that is better suited to people-watching. So many beautiful faces, so much love (and so much suffering) all within the city limits.


It's chilly tonight, sitting on the deck. I understand it's pretty hot and humid back home. So sorry folks. I'm freezing. Time to head inside!
