Getting around

I was a bit apprehensive  before this trip that my knees wouldn't hold up well with lots of walking but they don't feel any worse than usual. Take Tylenol at night and am ready to go again in the morning.

We are having a good time. Seem to be seeing lots without feeling rushed. I used to think travel needsto be filling the days with as much as possible but realize that iif you give yourself time in one place you can take it easy and just get the feel of things.

Yesterday we took the trolley bus to the bay and went to the aquarium, then found a bus to get us to the Golden Gate bridge. Taking the bus involves a lot of map looking but we got city passes so don't need to be concerned about fares, and you see a lot of the city on the bus. Anyway, walked across the bridge ( it's almost two miles across), it was beautiful seeing the bay and city from there. Once on the other side we didn't much feel like walking back. There was one of those hop on hop off buses there so. Asked the driver how much it would be to hop on to get back to the city. He was going to Sausolito, but he said we could pay for a night tour for which we would get on another bus in Sausolito. So we did that, had a bit of time in Sausolito, which is so pretty and peaceful. The tour was ok, we had already seen a lot of the places, but the guide was very knowledgeable so were glad we did it.

We went to Haight-Ashbury the other day, after some wrong buses and so on. It's a sort of sad little area I found.

Going to take the cable car up California St. this morning to go church at Grace Cathedral.
