Honeymoon: San Francisco

Our first glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge




Richard had the camera and I drove slowly so he could get pictures--I think we may have overdone it!





One last shot out the back window








Throughout the trip, gas was running about $4--SF had some of the highest prices we saw!


British Motor Cars--Jags, Land Rovers, Range Rovers, etc.

City Hall


Castro district





Mom's old stomping grounds at Haight and Cole

Richard wasn't that into the Haight-Ashbury area...I shouldn't have been surprised--the English and hippies don't really mix!

We went to Golden Gate Park instead, and Richard liked it much better!


The Botanical Gardens in the park have a 'fragrance garden' section where you touch & smell everything--so much fun!


Richard fed a squirrel his peanut granola bar

It ate right out of his hand!

Then they started to get a little too close...When he was surrounded by 4 of them, I made us move on!



Tiny little baby turtle--so cute!



City Hall



I love these trams--so cute!

Gap's flagship store downtown







Port of San Francisco building









Coit tower


Sea Lions!

I could sit there & watch these guys all day--so cute!





We took a bay cruise--it goes under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz

















Ghirardelli building




Palace of Fine Arts






















Alcatraz was so scary looking up close...I would never want to go there.  It costs $75, too!







So creepy!









We went to the Musee Mechanique, too

We took a cable car up to Chinatown for lunch


















I love the architecture










First signs that we're in Chinatown


Chinatown!
















Palace of Fine Arts








It's like something out of Rome...















One last picture before we go down the coast!
