San Francisco











Landed in SFO during a break in the weather on Sunday evening. Tired and hungry, I suggested a pub near Union Square where I had tipped a pint several times prior.(Lefty O'Doul's). Always good for a pint and a corned beef sandwich. They don't take American Express, and that was the last time I saw mine. That's another story.





Weather has pretty much been wet ever since our arrival. It's not a cold rain but a mild misty drizzle, much like Seattle or Ireland weather. It makes the inside of the trolley car sought after but doesn't keep you indoors. Having purchased a 3 day trolley pass for the meal on Sunday evening, we headed down to the Fisherman's wharf on Mon AM and walked from the Hyde stop to the Golden gate Bridge and back(about 6 -7 miles). Lots of upscale water view homes along the way. Much of the walk is through former US Army property-Fort Mason, & The Presidio.

Some pictures along the walk. The weather here is ideal for roses and they are in bloom and magnificent.

Monday night was Sourdough and Chowder at the Boudin bakery and Restaurant on the Wharf
