San Francisco


     


                                  
                            


     I know it's been a while since we went to San Francisco, but I still think it is worth posting about. Ahh, San Francisco. Not very sunny, or warm, but it is still lovely. One of the days we visited the fog lifted unveiling the real beauty of San Fran. The Golden Gate was in plain sight, and Alcatraz was out on the ocean clear as day. It really is a neat city. LOTS OF HILLS, but it gives you some good exercise. Even with all of the neat buildings and colors, the hit of the trip (at least for John) was Mickey, the cute little wiener dog. Mickey was pretty funny. John would just sit there and throw the ball to Mickey. After Mickey was done chewing he would roll it back to John, and the cycle started again. They would have done that for hours. Amazingly, after all of that play with John, Mickey would still be afraid of him. As soon as John broke Mickey’s personal bubble, the little dachshund would scurry off and hide.
    The food there was excellent. It's on the coast so obviously there was some good seafood (which I had plenty of). We went to a great beach, but the water was way too cold. The Monterey aquarium was also thrown into the mix. The jellyfish portion was excellent. Those things really are amazing. John started his interest in photography at Napa valley. I love the picture of him above. I was just scrolling through, deleting the ones he took and i found this one. Nothing better than taking pictures of your reflection, the floor, and Mickey!  As for me, I basically just ate my way around, relaxed, and soaked in the excellent city of San Francisco.
