Last Day in San Francisco

Well, today the weather was a little chillier and less sun. More like the typical weather you think of for this area! Nonetheless , we had another great day.

We ventured out to Alcatraz-- a must for any visitor to San Francisco. We were glad we had prepurchased our tickets because the tours were sold out for the day when we got to the pier. The audio tour of "The Rock" is exceedingly well done. I enjoyed hearing it all again and Bill enjoyed it for the first time.

After the ferry ride back, we walked Fisherman's Wharf and had lunch at a great little seafood restaurant called Scomos. Delicious. Then we walked and stood on the inevitably long line to ride the cable car all the way up. It was cold and windy but we are still glad we did it. It was about a 45 minute wait -- but shorter than when we tried this weekend! Off to an early dinner since a taxi is picking us up at 5:30am for the airport! Next blog will take place from Switzerland--June 18 departure !

Also included photos of yesterday's tour with The Girls and the whacky race partiers . One photo was a stop at a fortune cookie factory! Fun!
