We arrived in San Francisco late yesterday afternoon. John and I immediately set out and did a quick walk around the waterfront. It was busy! We swung back to the hotel (Courtyard--funky smell loud ac, but great location) to get the kids. We headed up Columbus Ave. to North Beach and ate at Ideale, an Italian restaurant specializing in Roman influenced dishes.
Today (Monday), John and I got up early and walked around enjoying the quiet before the bustle of the crowds set in. We had delicious crepes for breakfast at a place around the corner from the hotel. We all went on the Red and White boat line "Bridge to Bridge" cruise. The Golden Gate had a line of fog running along its length and as we got closer to it, the more obscured it became! When we crossed beneath it, there was only dense fog leading out of the bay. We swung around for a close up of Alcatraz before heading under the Bay Bridge. The boat ride came with audio so we learned all about the reconstruction of the Bay Bridge after the 1989 earthquake.
