San Fransico

Some streets in San Fransisco are really crazy steep!



It would be pretty cool to live on a boathouse.

Treasure Island




Dave used to live on this island so showed us around it. The island was created for an exhibition and then used as a naval base. Now everything is basically falling apart, but the views are really great!

The Golden Gate Bridge

On Saturday Jon and I took Dave's car and drove to the Golden Gate Bridge, then all around that area. It was nice to just drive again!

San Francisco is a very healthy town - we constantly saw people running and biking everywhere. At the park by the bridge, youth soccer tournaments were going on. It was pretty heavenly - perfect blue skies, sunny, green grass and a laid-back atmosphere.

The bridge usually has clouds over it, even if the rest of the weather is totally clear.






I read that this is the most popular place in the world to commit suicide.

Alcatraz Island - we tried to go see it Sunday but the tour was sold out until Monday. Next time we'll book in advance.
