We went to San Francisco on Tuesday and spent the day. Our first stop was Coit Tower, to get a view of the city. Then it was a drive down crooked Lombard Street. We went to the famous Fisherman's Wharf and had a wonderful lunch at Alioto's Restaurant. We had a great view of the docks and we swapped halves of our shrimp salad and crab salad sandwiches. We also saw two sea lions catching fish while we ate. We walked all around the waterfront shopping for souvenirs, Christmas presents, and made a stop at Boudin Bakery, the sourdough bread bakery. We drove over to the Palace of Fine Arts, walked around the palace, but didn't go inside to see the art. What a beautiful park. We then went to the Presidio to see the San Francisco National Cemetery and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog. We walked down to the waterfront for a view of Alcatraz prison. It was as low as 58 degrees during the day, 87 when we got back to Lodi. We tried to go to Ghirardelli's Chocolate, so Deb could get her chocolate fix, but there was no parking available in the neighborhood, so we decided to go there on our next visit to San Francisco.
