Day 27 - San Francisco

WOW! Ryan and I had quite a crazy day today in San Francisco. We woke up, got in the car, and headed over to the Painted Houses. These are the houses that are at the beginning of the show Full House. After that we headed to Lombard street which is the crookidest street in America. Ryan drove down the street 2 times! After that we took the car back to the hotel and rode the cable cars into fishermans Wharf. There we had lunch outside on the bay and people watched for a while. After lunch we took an hour harbor cruise that took us around the Golden Gate Bridge and over to Alcatraz. We wanted to tour Alcatraz, but tickets were already sold out for the whole day.

After our boat cruise we headed to Coit tower for a nice view of the while Bay area. Next we took the street cars downtown to this mall (like the Gallery in Philadelphia). There we saw the only spiral escalator in the nation. I thought it would be more of a tight spiral, but it was just a little curvey. Either way we were somewhat dissapointed.

Next, we jumped on the BART system and headed down to the Oakland Collisum for the Oakland A's vs. Twins game. Amazingly enough we were able to get front row tickets for the game. And boy was it awesome. The A's came back from a 10 run defecit to win the game. It was the best comeback by the A's in team history. How awesome! Well tomorrow Ryan and I are headed to Yosemite. Have a good one!
