San Fransisco

Our first day in San Fransisco started out really hot compared to Monterey, but in the evening it was just as chilly.  We went up to a lookout point where the army started building turret guns during WWII.  The guns were never finished, but the tunnels were left behind.  The view was beautiful, so we decided to spread some ashes.









We found another Frankie's!  The restaurant was small, and an old man with a thick accent was the only waiter and bartender.  It was absolutely delicious!  If you ever visit San Fran go to Frankie's Bohemian Cafe.



Baker Street!


The next morning we went to the fisherman's wharf to explore.


I don't think it was possible to count all the restaurants that sold clam chowder and sourdough bread.  We thought this particular restaurant was neat.  They had bread baked in so many different shapes and sizes.  I wanted to hug and eat the bear all at the same time.


We wanted to take the tour of Alcatraz, but we found out the tours were sold out until Thursday!  Luckily there were about 10 boats advertising a trip under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz.  We got some ice cream, and found the least sketchiest boat to ride on.


We spread some ashes under the bridge.  According to the captain we passed over the deepest part of water under the bridge.  Something like 350 feet deep!


Danni wearing the jacket the deckhand gave her.  No she has not turned into a hunchback... that lump is Totoro.


Alcatraz!  Luke kept accidentally calling it Azkaban, so we called it that for the rest of the trip.  We sprinkled in three different places around the island.




After the chilly but fun boat ride we decided it was time to leave San Fransisco.  Gotta love the rainbows on every tunnel.



Today's random bit of advice: Ever so often push your luck.
