Day 7
Tuesday, September 25th
It was nice to be able to sleep in this morning. No pressure to be somewhere at a certain time. We tried booking a tour for Alcatraz, but this particular tourist attraction is quite popular and the next opening wasn't until the following Saturday. One day too late for us. Bill had dome some homework, and he had other sites for us to see. Our first destination was Lombard Street. It is famous for being the most winding and steep street in, well somewhere. It was crazy to see the tourists standing at the top of this road, and right in the middle of the crossing road to get a picture. Yes, Bill was one of the crazy tourists. People,,,, it is still a useable road and there were cars driving every which way.
We finally made it to the water front - Fishermans Wharf, and by then it was time for a late lunch. We stopped for some of San Francisco's famous sour dough bread. I'm not the expert on sour dough bread, as it is Bill's weakness, but even Bill agreed that Seattle was still the place where we had the best sour dough bread so far.
We walked around the docks, and we stumbled across a group of school kids, maybe grade five or six. They seemed to be on a field trip and were going aboard a sailing ship for lessons. We sat and watched them for about an hour and from the moment they put on their life jackets and yellow rain coats, I had found one youg guy who kept me entertained. You know how there is always that one kid on a field trip, who is preoccupied, not listening, curious and always questioning why? Well this young man was that kid. It didn't take the crew long to figure that out. By the time there were pulling away from the dock, the boy had one on one supervision.
Other than walking up and down hills, the day was pretty quiet. We stopped at a cheese market close to our hotel and picked up some food for supper. We were still full from lunch, so it was a late dinner in the room.
