We had another great day in the SF bay area. The day started out dreary and misty from the fog but started to clear up as we inched closer to the Fisherman's Wharf area amidst the morning rush hour. At the wharf, we waited for our to take us to Alcatraz. The tour of the island and prison did not disappoint. Cece posed for some pics behind bars but Kelly was kind enough to let her out for good behavior. We happened to be visiting on the same day that a former guard, George DiVincenze, was on the island. He was there to greet visitors and autograph a copy of a book he wrote called Murders on Alcatraz.
Following Alcatraz, we had some lunch on the wharf. Then we embarked for a hop on/hop off bus tour of the city where Marquis, our tour guide, regaled us with stories as well as song. Our decision to ride top-side on the double decker bus was not so wise when it came time to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. However, the views and photo ops were worth braving the cool temps and high winds of San Fran.
We ended our bus tour by hopping off in Chinatown for a scrumptious meal at House of Nanking where - and this is no exaggeration - we had the best Chinese food ever! Shout out to Sandra LeFluer for the food recommendation. And shout out to Kelly O'Malley (just for the hell of it).
Tomorrow we take the coastal highway south to San Mateo!
