Day 20 - San Francisco/Napa, CA

We were off in our coach for another fun day in San Francisco.  The first stop was the SF Bridge & view of the early morning fog.

Thanks to our driver, John, a fantastic photographic stop was the Bridge Pavilion.





May 1935 was the completion date of the Bridge.





This example showed how many wires were used in each strand cable (27,000).














Famous Alcatraz Island & former prison.


Larry Beavers - the 
Birthday boy for the day! 







Former Chrissy Field transformed into a beautiful park.






A retro SF building.










Jim & RaeAnne about to ride the cable car with Brian, Wayde & many others.














They twirl the cars for the next trip up the hill.









Tom, Catherine, Bobby & Roses on the cable car.  While some sat, others hung on outside like Carol & Rae Anne.  Brian, Wayde, Gerald and Spence enjoyed the outside ride too.  The ride was over with David, Suzanne, Emily & Dorris.


Arriving in Chinatown, we saw very intense board games going on along the streets.








A long walk up Washington street to the restaurants. A stop at a fortune cookie factory yielded us each a yummy flat fortune cookie.  Carol was enjoying hers.













Uncle Yee playing a strange instrument - he was great!





Part of our group on our coach.  Mural of Frank Sinatra & others.  The Stinking Rose Garlic Restaurant. One of the many colorful trolleys brought to SF from around the world.  Furniture hanging out the windows.
Big legs! In Haight/Ashbury District.  SF architecture.  Outdoor amphitheater.
