our boat to Alcatraz

Christmas in SF!

Here we are at Macy's on our first day. Before the tree across the street was put up.

we were there on Veteran's Day

And saw this parade.

like, bread, man

One of the greatest areas - which we went to several times - in SF was Fisherman's Wharf. It's a big tourist area full of shops and good restaurants and clam chowder and tours and boat rides and sealions and lights and beauty. Here we passed a great bread maker - a big chain, in fact - and if you've ever wondered what an alligator and teddy bear look like made out of bread, here ya go!

crab or lobster, you decide

They called me Mister Lobsterhead!

our first lovely meal

Ever been to a McCormick's Seafood? It's a national chain (first one we went to was in Boston). It's great. And man, their clam chowder was perfect. That's one thing I always think of when I think of SF - clam chowder. So of course we had it at every opportunity!

That other glob is Atlantic salmon. In fact, we had that just last night too. It's CHEAP here in Japan, just a couple dollars for a good size piece! Guess it helps living on an island.

the first day in SF

And our first view at the amazing amount of pelicans around there!

ridin' the trolley!

clang clang clang!

Our room, and our trolley in the great SF.

our SF trip

Last month we took a trip to San Francisco. It was great! More soon!
