San Francisco

San Francisco very quick visit.
Pier 39, busy area decided to go on a boat cruise.  Bob was disappointed that we could not go into Alcatraz due to the situation with the government in the States, all state parks are closed (thank goodness we did Yellowstone).  We are very concerned about the Grand Canyon but heard it will open for a week, this will really be fortunate for us if it works out.
San Francisco was beautiful, the rv park we stayed at not so much so we decided to leave after 2 nights.



Sea lions that live on the pier showed up after the earthquake.

Alcatraz we always thought it was further out from shore. 





Julia noticed the hearts on the bolts, cute.










cool boat

Sea lions








Golden Gate bridge




Chocolate factory didn't go :(


Take a look at the road the angle is crazy















Fire but it seemed to be controlled 





The base under water is as large as a football stadium 











Angel island 



back of Alcatraz 











Prison guards residence



Cell size was 5 by 9 feet, 300 maximum prisoners 
















Bay bridge  unique in its construction of two lanes one on top of another (north section collapsed during earthquake) 








































angle



Really an rv going down that is crazy!














Had to come back that evening to get a picture of a street car






Well we were having problems finding a street car but then arrived at the museum and the back doors were open YAY photo op

 fortunately the security guard was ok and didn't bother us



This car on the road was packed






The bridges are beautiful at night could not quite capture the images.





This is our campsite ... pavement and kind of scary but nothing was stolen and people were nice, in the evening it was full of vehicles.







Cool bridge but happy to be off of it

acres and acres of grape vines









Not sure what they are transporting  perhaps red peppers







Pool Shabby has a bobo kind of concerned hope this helps would not want a vet bill (she might have stepped on something during the rain storm or her paw was stepped on and her nail went into the skin)

There much better as long as she stops licking it (Presently it is much better, good thing)
We are in Pismo Beach next section beautiful place.  We were also able to get the gasket for the propane tank to be able to fill it, RV World in Grover Beach (near Pismo Beach) sure helped out.
