San Francisco

I hadn't realized Napa Valley was so close to San Francisco! It only took us about an hour to reach our "RV Resort" outside of SF in Pacifica.  The little old lady at the campground was nice enough to give us an "ocean view" spot for the regular price because the campground was being repaved and their weren't many other options.  Once we arrived at our spot, we realized that we were on a cliff ledge which has been eroding more and more every day.  After a little research, which was fueled by my paranoia, I found that some apartments not more than 700 yards away had been evacuated earlier this year because of severe erosion.  Later that night, we moved to a safer spot more inland...

You can see where they moved the railing forward because the edge of the cliff keeps falling away, creeping closer and closer to the pavement and where people are sleeping...
 

That's a 60 ft drop to the ocean folks!

Our first day in San Francisco began with us touring some the city's familiar sights like Lombard Street (the curvy street) and Fisherman's Wharf.  For a rainy day, Lombard street was pretty busy with tourists like ourselves.

Gotta love those San Francisco streets! Like rollercoasters!

If you are a seafood lover, Fisherman's Wharf is the place for you.  There are probably ~20 different seafood restaurants, seafood stands, and seafood carts; each one shouting for your business over the next seller.

 

But our favorite part of Fisherman's Wharf was the Sea Lions! They usually hang out on the docks near the aquarium.  We could hear them barking from the other side of the Wharf.

WARNING: SEA LIONS SMELL! BAD! REALLY BAD!

 

The next day, it was Halloween in San Francisco! We drove up to the Golden Gate Bridge and got some good shots of the bridge and Alcatraz.  The Golden Gate Rec area and surrounding parks were packed with San Franciscans jogging, picnicking, and playing with their doggies.  It was a beautiful day!
