A Day In San Francisco

Wedding Week got into high gear Wednesday with the arrival of Rachel and Will, Stacey, and Carole and Lexi. On Thursday, June 10, Vicki and I and Carole and Lexi and Stacey embarked on a day-long tour of San Francisco highlights.

Our tour started at the, um, interesting house we had rented

in Half Moon Bay

We actually saw and did Lombard Street, but, alas, my

camera malfunctioned much of the day; pictured above, of

course, is Ghiradelli Square, where we had, what else, hot

chocolate

Down the street was the Buena Vista, whose Irish coffee we

eschewed (it being early in the day); but we did later ride the

cable car

And of course we did visit Fishermans' Wha

And saw one Bay Cruise you do not want to take

And The Rock (Alcatraz)

And the seals at Pier 39; and chowder at Boudin's for

some; In and Out burgers for others

Carole and Lexi at the Tomb of the Unknown Seal

Turning the cable car

Transamerica Tower from Chinatown,

where we spent a good bit of time

Rotunda of the downtown shopping center where we

shopped and dined; OK, it's not Galeries Lafayette

The city from the Golden Gate viewing area

And, the Golden Gate; it was now past ten,

actually, past 1 AM for the eastern time

zone crowd, and some were asleep before

we crossed the brige back to town; all in

all, a pretty action-packed and sight-filled

day
