San Francisco

Today was spent in San Francisco. We’re staying at the Adante hotel. Today, we started by walking through Union Square on our way to visit Chinatown, where we toured the Golden Gate fortune cookie factory.

We looked at the Trans American pyramid building, but it’s no longer open to the public.

Continuing on to Fisherman’s Warf, we took a cruise from Pier 39. The cruise showed us Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Angel Island (the Ellis Island of the west) up close.

Lunch was at Boudin cafe, where I had a bread bowl of chili. In the afternoon, we hiked up to Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, which has panoramic views of the entire San Francisco Bay area.

An afternoon Segway tour of the waterfront introduced us to Segway human transports. The tour ended at the Palace of Fine Arts. Dinner was at In-N-Out Burger. On the way back to the hotel, we walked down the famous block of Lombard Street, which has 8 switchbacks on a 40 degree slope.
