Jan 23rd - Sightseeing

Yesterday we rested, for the most part. Drew cleaned gutters in the rain. Doug did some work inside. I am fighting off a cold and did virtually nothing all day.

Today Drew went back to work. Doug, Kathy & I did some sight seeing. We went to Pier 14 to see the Raygun Gothic Rocket ship that Drew had worked on. In the background is the bridge between San Francisco and Treasure island.
 Below is a larger photo of the plaque that you see in the above photo, between Kathy & I. I drew the box around Drew's name.

After seeing the rocket ship we walked through one of the shopping areas at the pier. Kathy & Doug tried out the coffee at the Blue Bottle. The place is supposed to have better coffee than Starbucks.

From there we went to Golden Gate Park. We had hoped to go into the Conservatory but found that it was closed on Mondays. We walked around the neighborhood and found a "greasy spoon" for lunch. The place was on the small side. It was fairly crowded the entire time we were in the place. The food was good and reasonably priced.

After lunch we drove north, up across the Golden Gate bridge and back around the bay to Oakland.

There was a fair amount of drizzle during the day, with occasional sunshine.

Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
