SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 2014:

This morning I drove out to Fort Point and the Golden Gate Bridge.
I also paid a visit to the Palace of Fine Art which is located nearby.
I admired the view from the Cliff House on the Pacific Ocean.

Hello Folks, For the second day in a row the forecast of sunny skies did not turn out to be true. It was pretty much gloomy all day. I set out from my hotel at about 10:00 this morning. I passed a few cable cars during my trek across town. I was going to drive down Lombard Street (the crooked street in the world). But the line of traffic waiting to do it was about a mile long so I passed on that. My first stop was at Fort Point.  I'm hoping we get 10 minutes of clear skies before I leave here. I'd like to visit the Golden Gate Recreation Area, but kind of pointless in a fog. You can almost see the top of the Golden Gate Bridge in the picture below.  Next I visited the Palace of Fine Arts which is just around the corner.  Look at the sea gull in flight in the upper left corner of the picture below.  The little boy standing next to me was getting a big kick out of seeing these swans.  I pretty much spent the rest of the day fighting traffic and looking for a place to park. My next stop was the Cliff House and Land's End.  You get a nice view of the Pacific Ocean from here.  I took a walk along the beach and dipped my toes in the ocean. The water was very cold.  I decided to drive through Chinatown on my way back to the hotel. Below is the Chinatown Gate.  One more picture from Chinatown below.  More from San Francisco tomorrow, Tim |
