a day off in San Fransisco

Jim had a day off from work so we thought a trip to San Fransisco's fisherman's wharf would be fun. It was finally time to explore our new surroundings.

This is the famous Golden Gate Bridge
the toll to cross the bridge is up to $6.
But its so exciting to go into the big city! (golden gate fact #1 approximately 50 people a year commit suicide by jumping from the bridge) and yes some survive!











pier 39 is quite an interesting place. full of people and shopping and tourist
activities. this is the out side of the bay aquarium.

















here is Alcatraz. we'll take the tour one of these days. today was just to get a feel for the place and see what all it has to offer- quite a bit. it took several hours just to walk the wharf and pier, not to mention all the museums and food and shops and cruises and submarines and the fishing and sea lions.
















phew, after all that we had to stop and rest with an ice cream. jim shared some of his cone with the pigeons. it was funny. they were sitting on his lap and taking food from his hand.
