Our first day in San Francisco and it was a a good one. Our trip here was fine, the only glitch was that I changed the time on the clock when i was setting the alarm and got up at 5 a.m. So was pretty tired by the end of the day. Geoff is smart, he booked a direct flight. We figured how to take transit from the airport and our hotel turned out to be only a couple of blocks from the train. Nice hotel. Geoff still doesn't know how much it costs and understands that it's better that way.

We went to bed early and slept in until 10 a.m.! Even Geoff! Surprised ourselves. We walked to Fisherman's Wharf. It's not that far but there are steep hills between us and the bay. Had our first (of many, I hope) bowl of clam chowder for lunch. Went on a bay cruise. The America's Cup is on right now and we saw a couple of the boats racing in the bay.

Spent a lot of time walking, then took our first cable car ride back to the hotel. We had to wait for 45 minutes to get on the car, but it was such a cool ride up and down those hills. 

Weather is nice but it got quite cool as evening came on. Just resting in the room before going out to eat. There are many many choices around here.
