San Francisco, California



Here's Alcatraz - my brand new home! Arnold said he'd give me a good price on it!

The fishing's good! All my friends can have their own room when they come to visit. All my old friends still live there.








The day we went to San Francisco was very foggy as you can see. We had a ball, saw all the sights.






















































As you can see (or not) we barely saw the Golden Gate Bridge!







































































































































We took a ride on a Cable Car - here it comes down the hill!















Oops! We'd better switch tracks.




This is our brakeman - it's a very important job!!







































































These hills are pretty steep! There is no flat land in San Fran.













Here we are passing another cable car.

























The end of the line!













Time to get something to eat at the famous Fisherman's Wharf!




































































There was every kind of food you could think of to eat - from expensive restaurants to expensive outdoor vendors!
Of course everyone ate at Boudin's except for me - I had a hot dog and a beer from a vendor cause I was being thrifty!? Ha! Ha!






























































































Next stop - Chinatown! Chinatown ain't Chinatown no more - it's Korea town, Japanese town, Vietnam town. And the Chinese are very upset about it!
































































Boy these streets are steep!














































By the time we left, the fog had lifted a bit and we could see half of the Golden Gate Bridge.


















































It got better and better!























As we drove away, the sun came out!!

  1. Following along on your travels. Looks like you are wearing out your feet. Glad they didn't keep you at Alcatraz!
