Oct. 19th, Tuesday

We were up and on the walking path over to the Ferry Terminal at 8:45 to catch the 9:15 ferry to the city…San Francisco!  The harbour was totally fogged in, so we saw nothing and I mean nothing. That did not discourage us as it looked like it would clear before the day was done.  Sure enough the city itself cleared off and we had sun and pretty warm temps.  We bought tickets for the hop on hop off bus and did the city tour on the upper deck of a double-decker bus.  We then climbed up the hill to the base of 

Lombard Street

then climbed to the top and back down again; it’s the crookedest street in San Fran. Now, that was a work out and we felt we worked off the calories of our fattening lunch.
But, it was a nice lunch on Fisherman’s Wharf .  We then went on the second part of our “City Sightseeing San Francisco” ticket and where off to the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito loop.  The approach to the bridge was in sun, but the top was in the fog, so again, we saw nothing!  Once down the Sausalito side the sun was out! Go figure!

Our ticket is good for two days, so we are hoping that the fog will be gone tomorrow and redo that loop.  They dropped us in the Wharf area again and we walked some more, then back to Pier 1 and our ferry back to Larkspur!  We enjoyed a people watching glass of wine & a beer on Pier 1 before boarding the ferry. There had been a baseball game today at the AT&T Park, Philadelphia and the Giants.  Giants won so we had a few drunken people returning to Larkspur on the Ferry!

Tomorrow we are taking the Ferry back across to continue our exploring San Francisco.
