Had a great night last night at the restaurant and the weather was kinder today. The rain has lifted and visibility excellent. No, there's no snow! Breakfast today at IHOP and then on to the ferry for Alcatraz. Wind cold but otherwise a great morning. The kids really enjoyed the audiovisual tour and the views of San Francisco were great from "the Rock". Lunch on Pier 39 and shopping... and more shopping ... Then headed to the cable cars. Kids had a ball most opting to stand and hang from the open sides. Very excited going down the steep hills. Got off at Lombard Street and walked down the curliest street in the world. Then headed off to the Hard Rock Cafe and a little more shopping at Pier 39... again!
Back to the hotel where we celebrated Luke Macri's 16th birthday. (Georgie Dinan's 18th tomorrow. All in all another great day. Many cold but very happy faces. Unfortunately can't load photos from here. (No FTP access). Will do so when we hit Phoenix. Helen has already taken hundreds!! The kids are getting used to her lining them up for a "quick photo". Heading off for our coach tour of San Francisco tomorrow and a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge before flying to Phoenix. San Francisco has been a load of fun despite the freezing weather.

Sounds like you are all having a great time - looking forward to seeing some photos. With all this technology and facebook chat it feels like we are there with you - except we are finally having summer weather.
ReplyDeleteWhat time is it getting dark there? TV News in Sydney reports the snow is heading west. Arizona, Grand Canyon & California all mentioned.
