Richard & Sylvia's RV Adventures

Day 53 Monday, April 23, 2007 & Day 54 Tuesday, April 24, 2007

Back to San Francisco

Today we headed back to San Francisco; we decided to try to drive into the city to give us some more options on seeing some outlying areas.  On the way in we routed ourselves such that we could go to Sausalito, the town you see across the bay from San Francisco.  We walked along the Bay and stopped for coffee at Caffe Trieste, taking in the sun and people watching. 

Afterwards we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco.  We drove into China Town, parked and found a nice little place for lunch.  We walked around China Town and were able to visit a Fortune Cookie factory where we watched them make the cookies and add the fortunes. Fun!!

We then visited the Fisherman’s Wharf

and of course had to purchase some of the famous Sourdough Bread from the Factory. According to the poster they invented the sourdough soup-bowl. 

We walked on down to the famous Pier 39 and were entertained by the Sea Lions as they made a lot of barking noise and playfully pushed each other in the water as they seemed to play “king of the hill”.

Got some good views of Alcatraz Island from Pier 39.

Tuesday, April 24, 2007 – Rest

Today we took it easy riding our bikes around the base and walking Lucy.  With Sylvia leaving tomorrow to fly back to Woodbridge for Tanner’s first communion we took the opportunity to get her packed up for the trip.
