Have just spent an amazing day in San Fran. Arrived lunchtime, can't check in to Hostel until 2 so Chloe and I put our bags into a locker and went for a walk.
All the posh hotels are within a couple of blocks, and we are 2 blocks from Union Sq, 2 blocks down hill to Powell and Market... where the trolley line starts, so we took the trolley down to Fisherman's Wharf... checked out the Mechanical Museum, which has the funniest "what the butler saw" type stereoscope. What an innocent age, when a girl in her underwear was considered titillating!
Then we had some SF sourdough and cookies and hot chocolate... any excuse to get out of the wind. Our first sight of the Golden Gate bridge, shrouded in fog.
Got the trolley back to downtown and then went to the Biscuit and Blues, just across the road from the hostel for dinner and to hear Walter Trout and his band play... what a fabulous (ear-deafening) performance! Have a CD as a souvenir.
Tomorrow to Alcatraz and ???
CU l8r,
