Jan 29th - Jack London Square

This morning we went to Jack London square, on the Oakland "waterfront." There is a Farmer's Market on Sunday morning's and that was part of the reason we went, but it was also just a sightseeing trip.

It was a very pleasant morning. The waterfront area is a very nice place for a Sunday morning walk.

In the original of the photo below you can just see the San Francisco skyline in the background, through the haze.

Just another photo of the area.

We went out on one of the piers and watched some of the activity. Lots of sailboats appeared to be headed toward the bay/ocean. There were also a couple of rowing teams practicing by going up and down the "river" in sculls. We saw 5 or 6 people in kayaks and another guy who looked like he was standing on a surf board and using a long handheld oar for propulsion.

We didn't do much in the afternoon. Actually I had a very nice nap <grin>.

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