We started our second day in San Francisco with a city tour. We hit all the famous landmarks and highlights. The tour finished with a drive over the Golden Gate bridge. We ended in Sausalito which was a charming Mediterranean style tourist town with lots of little shops and restaurants. The weather was much warmer over there compared to San Francisco. We had an outdoor picnic and soaked up the California sunshine. On the ferry ride back we cruised by Alcatraz and that was the closest we got. Tickets are sold out at least a month in advance so if you want to see "the Rock" book your tickets early. I still can hear Dale grumbling under his breath! When we arrived back to San Fran we took our first cable car ride. We had great 'seats' which meant we were able to stand. That evening we headed down to Fisherman's Wharf which turned out to be our least favorite part of the city. Maybe it was because we were there in the evening and all the lively fishmongers were packed up for the day. Lots of cheesy souvenir stores and it is freezing by the water at night. We did check out the Bourdin Sourdough museum from the street (San Francisco has a museum for everything) and shared clam chowder in a sourdough bowl.
