Autumn in San Francisco


Today was just another beautiful day in San Francisco.  Almost December, and it's about 70f.  Heike and I enjoyed the day walking around the city.  Starting at the Farmers Market at the Ferry Building.  We then strolled along Embarcadero and climbed the Filbert Steps to Coit Tower and Telegraph Hill.  We've done this many times, but never tire of it.  Today the wild parrot flock of Telegraph Hill were out in full force.  We saw at least fifty (probably more) birds.  Bright green, calling loudly, enjoying the day just as we were.

From there we walked down to North Beach (little Italy), then over to Chinatown.  We decided on dinner in SF, so we walked back to Michelangelo's in North Beach for some pasta.  Tasty.

Finally, we took the train back to the East Bay for home and rest.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Looking at your pictures makes me wish I could go back for a visit. I sure enjoyed that area of San Francisco. I must add getting there by ferry from Oakland made it an even greater adventure.

Well, you'll have to come back out next spring for a Shasta climb. We can do the city after.
