The last two days have been relaxed. On Friday I met up with Gerry, a San Francisco local and a regular reader of my blog. He was very friendly and showed me around the city by car. We saw the Golden Gate Park, The Presidio, Ocean beach and drove up on Twin Peaks from which you have a fantastic view of the whole city.
We also crossed the Castro district which is the area of Harvey Milk (which you might know from the film “Milk” with Sean Penn). It was a great day, and thanks so much for showing me around Gerry!
Today I did some shopping, watched the kites at the kites festival at the Marina and had an ice cream in Ghirardelli. If you have a sweet tooth, it is the place to go.
There are a couple of photos here.
Tomorrow I have to get up early, the whale watching boat leaves at 8am, we need to be in the harbour at 7.30am. I bought some anti sea sickness pills just in case, but the weather is going to be good (28C predicted so it will be good to be at sea where it will be a little cooler). If we see just one whale I will be happy!
This is hopefuly a great day for you, seeing whales, Wauw!!! I wish you a super day without seesickness ;-) enjoy it
I’d love to see a whale, take lots of pictures and remember, sea-sickness is all in the mind! (Unless of course it’s all over the deck;))
Nice to see your photos from that day. Now you have your very own picture postcards of San Francisco. Come back again! ;-)
