Today we checked off a lot from our list. Started by driving into town over the Bay Bridge. Nothing unusual, but all the tourist lists have it on them.
As we were driving down Lombard, I was told it was kind of scary, and told not to take photos on the way down. It was pretty empty. No line at the top, just a lot of people clogging the intersection at the bottom.
We parked by SFAI (San Francisco Art Institute, my Alma Mater) and walked back to Lombard St. from there and then continued on from there.
We crossed over to Telegraph Hill and onto Coit Tower. Heard the parrots of Telegraph Hill, but there were too many trees to see them.
I actually paid to ride the elevator to the top. This was a first for me. I had no idea that the center roof is open on top. It's really beautiful looking up. And the view isn't bad either.
All the window ledges had coins that people had tossed, or dropped through the window slats. I'm not sure why they do it, but it's fun figuring out where they all come from.
We left Coit Tower down the back way and walked down the Greenwich Steps. I love it back there, all the secret gardens. From there we covered part of Fisherman's Wharf for lunch. Saw the Bush Man scare some girls. I forgot how funny he is. And it's amazing the people can be so clueless that 40 people are all focused on the same point in front of them.
Had lunch at Boudin. Was happy to see that they offer Tomato Soup in a bread bowl. My daughter really wanted one. On the way to our final destination we looked at some street artists, saw an army of silver guys and walked in Aquatic Park.
Mmmmm, Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory. Delicious and the perfect end to our day. All we had to do was walk back to SFAI. It felt like we walked 6 miles, but turned out to only be 3 or so. I'm sure it was all the uphill.
