Day 16. San Francisco (2)

I had thought Hannah was happiest in a swimming pool until she discovered San Francisco cable cars. Here she is standing on the running board of the cable car as it rattles up Powell Street on the way to Sunday brunch in Fisherman's Wharf.


And here is Sunday brunch - a crab omelette. June 15 is Father's Day in America and I am wearing my new Brooklyn Breweries t-shirt as a memento of happy times in Brooklyn.


We'd heard of the San Francisco fog, but were still a little surprised by how misty it was even in the early afternoon of a day in late spring. The Golden Gate Bridge emerging from the gloom.


We hired bikes and rode across the Golden Gate. Hannah had her own bike, and Sam had a tagalong. The bike hire guy was surprised that Hannah needed a full size helmet, but we weren't. We were told we were cycling to sunny Sausalito and we scoffed because of the fog we were surrounded by in SF. But in Sausalito, voila, brilliant sunshine.

We caught the ferry home. Two tired but happy children.
