11:00 AM, Leaving San Jose, CA
08:00 PM, Back in San Jose
Breakfast at Nat’s home before going to San Francisco. 50 miles to get there from San Jose. So far, weather is pretty sunny but weather is well known in SF to get foggy pretty easily ...
We started with the Golden Gate Bridge. Crossed it by car both ways but no way to see the all thing at once. There was a lot of fog as you can see on the pictures. Maybe we will have more chance tomorrow while we visit Alcatraz and Angel Island. We continue by car going to Lombard street (that street with some many curve in one block: 9). We went then to the steepest street in SF. The car was going in there and I still could see the road!! Driving in SF is pretty nice, going up hill or down hill all the time at each block, kind of fun!! Then, we parked the car to walk in Pier 39 and see Alcatraz and the sea lions. A great area with a lot of people, animation, restaurants, ... We saw the cable cars but way too much line to get in there. We just saw the end where they rotate them manually!!
Next stop was to eat!! A restaurant on the ocean called Cliff House. We had some shrimp & crab in a huge salad, good to eat :) we walked then on the beach and had a quick taste of the temperature of the water: COLD!!!
Back in the car, we went on top of the twin peaks to get a great view of the city and the bay. We went down then in the Ashbur / Haight to walk in there. Lots of hippies and lots of homeless people. Some stores selling clothes (cheap or super expensive), music, or other messy stuff!! Even if it was sunny, temperature was really cold. Ocean influence is really impressive. After a quick round by car in the downtown of the city, we came back in San Jose. I drove the all day in SF and it’s pretty nice :)
Back home, we ordered pizza, grabbed some beers and spent the evening in the Jacuzzi / Pool to relax!!
