San Francisco

We spent a great day (and night) in San Francisco, CA with the Lachmanns'. Chris, Suzana, and their daughter, Sofia, have a beautiful home in Walnut Creek. Chris and I went to Hopewell Valley HS together. Chris and Suzana were great tour guides pointing out all the sites of the big city. We went down to Fisherman's Wharf for lunch. Daiv actually slept in his camper on the wharf 40 years ago. A lot has changed since then, but the sea lions still lounge about on the floating docks, and the seagulls still fight for scraps of food. We hiked a massive amount of stairs to a monument tower overlooking the city. From the top you could see the long line of cars winding down Lombard Street, the crookedest street ever! We drove across the Golden Gate Bridge and caught glimpses of Alcatraz. Unfortunately my forethought was not adequate enough to get us tickets to visit Alcatraz close up, next time.
Today, Sunday, we will visit the Walnut Creek Farmer's Market and stock up for Yosemite NP, while we get an oil change on the truck (we traveled over 7,000 miles so far).
