San Francisco, day two

The view of downtown from our hotel room


We made it to Chinatown



More Waldos!

Chicken feet and black ducks...

Wall of Pocky!





They were having a "Longevity Celebration" and these older Chinese ladies danced.


The Cable Car Museum. Each of those cables are currently running the cable cars through town.

The oldest known cable car in the world!




This beautiful mansion survived the 1906 earthquake and fires

This hotel survived the 1906 events as well


The beautiful Episcopalian cathedral on Nob Hill








A cute little neighborhood pub

We stopped in for a drink





Japantown! So different from Chinatown.




There was a huge glob of wasabi under each piece of fish.

Christian was really tearing up from all that wasabi!

Such beautiful duplexes and town houses.

World Famous Sourdough


Me with a street performer.

The cable cars get turned by 2 men, no mechanical processes here

How great to see some of our 'old haunts!' It truly was more fun in the early 70's when we lived there.
Christian reminds me of the old time mariners (sailors).
If you can ever rent the black and white movie, 'The Ghost and Mrs Muir,' you'll see what I mean.
The actor was Rex Harrison and the actress was Gene Tierney.
