More of San Francisco Day

I was sitting at an outside cafe'( Fisherman's Grotto #9) on the wharf in San ,when I took these notes to help you see the wharf area better. I got here by taking a cable car. It was really fun! The car was pack with people hanging off the sides. The driver was very funny and was telling silly jokes. We did stop at Lombard Street, I didn't get off to take pictures. This will prove to be a big mistake later!!
As I sit here eating crab legs, people roll by on a segway tour, a man in a van with a huge Afro singing out his windows and a Museum called "Musee' Mecinque" keeps sending creepy clown laughter out it's doors. There are many fake cable cars rolling by full of tourist and one car only has one older lady all by herself, sitting very proudly! The sea gulls are as big as chickens and everywhere!! Suddenly everyone starts screaming. I couldn't see why they were screaming!! Then, I realize one of the birds ,I was watching was under the tire of an SUV. The traffic is very busy, so I guess this bird was a test for Darwin's theory. The bird didn't try to get away from the car. One man in the crowd, has the driver of the SUV roll his car back to see if the bird can be saved. It is too late and everyone avoids the spot until the garbage truck comes by and scoops up the bird. Everyone continues on tour the area. You can hear a jazz sax in the distance. Little three wheel yellow Go-Cars drive by and many people on rented bikes to see the Wharf. Well lunch is done and time to move on.
I go on a trip around the Bay. They have earphones so you can hear a narration. It is very windy on the front of the boat so I have my coat and gloves on. We go by the famous candy maker, military bases, cemeteries, and even a special pet cemetery for military pets. The Marina district, place of the most damage from the 1989 earthquake and finally the Golden Gate Bridge. It is beautiful. It was built on the bay entrance called Golden Gate. The Spanish gave this entrance to bay this name, so this is where the name Golden Gate came from. The Spanish sailed by on the Ocean for a long time before they found it was an entrance to the bay.We have now gone by an island called the "Ellis Island of the West". We are going by Alcatraz the famous prison. It is very huge and on a big rock. I have a friend who grew up there. He was the warrant's son. They would take the boat from Alcatraz to San Francisco every day to go to school. I would like that better then a school bus! The trip is over so I head to Pier 39. This is where the Sea Lions have taken over the marina docks. There must be hundreds, barking and playing in the water, pushing each other off the dock. The seem to be having lots of fun!
Time to leave and the line for the cable cars is really long. I learn Lombard street" the crookest street in the world" in only a few blocks away. I decide to skip the wait in line and walk to Lombard Street. Remember I told you I made a big mistake earlier. I start the walk to Lombard Street it is straight up!!!!!!!!! Not one of my better ideas. I didn't think I would make it!! I did get to see great views of the Bay as I rested between blocks! I finally made it and took many pictures of the cars slowly driving down the street.
Finally back to a cable car and the hotel. I reclaim by bags and head for the BART. It is a subway system. I take it to the airport. I did meet a danish couple on the BART and we helped each other get to the airport. Time to leave for China!!
