streets of San Francisco...

Our trip to San Francisco was quite interesting as it was the first time in about 12 years that I had spent any lengthy time with my brother. We flew to LA and went to a Dodger game (Tiffany works for the Dodgers and got us some great seats just above first base) and then drove to San Francisco the next day for Tiffany's graduation. The drive was beautiful; we drove part of it by the ocean and part of it through the countryside. There were farms on either side of the hwy for miles and miles. We stopped and got some fresh picked cherries...the bag was finished within a few minutes. Then after turning on another hwy there were wine vineyards one after another. San Francisco was surprisingly beautiful...the city by the bay. Although, still crowded like LA there was something about the boats, bridges & ocean that was simply amazing. Going up & down the extremely inclined streets was most interesting especially with Steve driving. :0 We stayed in the heart of downtown and enjoyed walking to the Ferry building and china town. Friday Tiffany graduated with her Masters in Sports Management. - Way to Go Tiff! - The graduation was in a very beautiful catholic church and afterwards we ate some delicious farm to table food. Saturday we mostly did touristy things like go to Muir woods, Alcatraz & the wharf.
