San Francisco extraordinaire!

What a great day we had! The weather in May is fantastic! Definitely the time to visit the Bay area. There is little fog in April and May.

Today was a wonderful whacky day in the city. It was the Bay to Breakers 7 mile race. It's a little hard to describe. There are amazing costumes in this 50,000 + people race. There is everything from the ridiculous to the sublime! Including birthday suits ( aka nudists) running in this event! They party all day !
We had the most amazing city tour with two ladies who know this place inside out! We walked down wooden staircases that are actual streets ; went to a fortune cookie shop; had amazing sweets and a delicious Thai (California style ) lunch. If you ever get to San Francisco and want the best possible tour of the city you must absolutely go with "Sights and Bites". CarriedAwaySf.com. They are truly awesome with the perfect tour representation of the city. They are delightful personalities filled with facts and history of this amazing place! I guarantee a fun time!! Even if you think you know the city--they will show or tell you something you didn't know before!! Highly recommend you book these gals!!

Tonight we went to the Top of the Mark (Mark Hopkins Hotel) to view the solar eclipse. Bill figured out how to really see the solar eclipse by looking through polarized glasses from two different angles. It was awesome! Wecouls really see the ring! We had dinner just down the street from the Mark Hopkins at The Big Four Restaurant ( recommended by the Carried Away Tour Ladies). It was great. A fabulous day in the Bay Area!
