The day went fast. First impressions - Jonathan and Elizabeth LOVE San Francisco. We arrived early afternoon, checked in and went for a walking tour of the Pier district. It was sunny and windy, but cool. People were walking around with winter jackets. The ocean really is cool in this area.
The pier is just behind our hotel so it was easy to get to. It's very popular with the tourists as you'll see at the photo web site. I will try to post the best photos to the apple web site (http://gallery.mac.com/mikemaycga. We went on a greyline tour of the city to get a feel for the layout. Interesting, San Francisco is a small city of only 800,000 and much like Japan, every square inch is housing with no yards. All of the houses are on hill property and of course we say the famous homes.
Dinner was at an OK jazz club. The area feels kinda tourist trappy, but hey ... we are tourists. At least the food was great. Tomorrow, it will be sourdough breakfast.
We went to bed early but now it's 3:30 am, (6:30 Toronto time) Mike is up and the others are stirring. We'll need a few days to get over the jet lag. I'll finish posting the pictures and see if I can take a nap. Today we'll drive up Hwy 1 and cross over to Napa. That means golden gate bridge as well. We could not get a tour of Alcatraz since they are all booked up for weeks. Julie booked us for the last day when we return because Jonathan really wants to see it.
