San Francisco

We had a fun day just being tourists!

We didn't take the time to go to the aquarium, but I would like to do so someday.

Pier 39 is the main "tourist trap" at Fisherman's Wharf.

Lots and lots of shops to spend money in...




And a giant Christmas tree to put you in the mood to spend $$$ :o)






Have you ever seen a double decker carousel? I hadn't!










It was soooo cold. I thought this poor little bird looked frigid!



The famous Alcatraz Island


A performer at Fisherman's Wharf




Some of the street performers we saw (there weren't too many out on this blustery day).














The San Francisco Boudin Sourdough Bread Company is a YUMMY place to visit. I had to take several pictures of them making bread in differents shapes. They are really artists! :o) It was fun to watch the demonstrations as well as smell the yummy bread baking!























View of the city



The famous "street cars". We rode on them a couple times during our visit.





This is Lombard Street. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but it's the crookedest street in the US. :o)






The next two pictures are just to give you an idea of how steep the roads are in Frisco. We hiked up and down a few of them. (whew)
