Just a note

We have just spent a great two days in San Francisco.  What a great city, starting with going over the Golden Gate Bridge.  We walked miles, and miles to see as much as we could.  We walked all over the Presidio, a large area which was a fort originally, like Fort Sumpter in S.C.  Now, it is green space where joggers, walkers and bikers utilize the area.  We viewed Alcatraz, with its forbidding guard towers on the Island. We walked all over Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, I went up in Coit's Tower to view the city in its 360 degree view. Yesterday, we walked all over The Golden gate Park which included a Science Museum, an art museum, a Japanese tea Garden, and the most amazing Botanical Gardens I have ever seen.  A big  thrill was to ride the Street car from Powell St. to Market Square, where all the big stores are situated, like Tiffanys, and Saxs Fifth Ave.   I wanted to stop at the famous nude male review playing at The Nob Hill Theatre, but Allen had no interest! Anyway, we walked the route we had just taken on the Street car, up and down, up and down, for the whole distance, stopping at Lombard Street which is the crookedest street in San Francisco! We leave this morning, after walking the Golden Gate Bridge, for Napa Valley and some good Vino!
