Day 15. San Francisco (1)

It was a cool, but sunny day in San Francisco. We arrived at lunchtime, sojourned to a French restaurant for a sandwich (and Anchor Steam Beer - when in Rome...) and headed off for a walking tour. The first time we saw a cable car, out came the camera.


Hannah and Sam reading Tarzan with a couple of friends in Chinatown.


The view of downtown from the top of Coit Tower. On the way up we passed through the North Beach Festival. There were several stages with bands, restaurants with tables on the streets, and thousands of people in party mood.


Alcatraz. By mid-afternoon it was getting misty over the bay. The Golden Gate Bridge was virtually hidden from view.


We walked down Filbert Steps from Coit Tower towards the piers. Along the way we passed theough a beautiful neighborhood of houses with gardens, linked by wooden steps and boardwalks.
