San Francisco



Wow what fun! Heather, Will, Bill and I went in to the city early Sunday and started right of with a ride on the cable cars. We got off at Union Square and had breakfast at a great place, Max's, recommended by our hosts. Then we walked through the city on our way to the Giants game. Glorious weather - once again. The game was great fun - Giants won 13 - 0. It was a great opportunity to visit with my sister and Tom and they showed us around the stadium and McCovey Cove etc. The view from the stadium is an awesome view of the bay, so if the game gets a little slow you can just watch the boats etc. Barry disappointed us - but we did see 2 other homers - so we can't complain.
After the game we walked the Embarcadera and Fisherman's wharf - then had dinner in the Marina section. Great day!

Well we didn't have enough so we went back to SF on Monday and rented bikes and biked over the Golden Gate bridge and into Sausalito. Then we took the ferry back. That was really all very cool. For those of you that have been out in these parts - we had an "in and out" burger for lunch - doesn't get better than that! After lunch - more walking to Coit Tower and then home to do dinner with our hosts, the incredibly patient Debbie and Scott.

Tomorrow we head for Sequoia National Park - if the bears don't get us, we promise to continue the blog. Hope all is well with all of you and that you have a very happy Fourth of July!!
