San Francisco

California

Two days in San Francisco. Cable cars, Coffee, Cathedrals, the waterfront, and views of the bay and Alcatraz.

Day One

A French Bakery. Sensational pastries and passable coffee. French bakery goods French bakery macaroons

Then more coffee at Blue Bottle. I had a passable espresso but I wasn’t blown away. Blue Bottle

Cable car turn-around Sky and building

Maiden Lane Fire escape

For dinner I had a sensational time at the Bottle Club Pub. I ended up chatting for the evening with a wonderful couple, and the food and drinks and company were a real highlight. Bottle Club Pub

Day Two

Grace Cathedral Taylor Street steep

Cable car Sky again

Coffee flight Coffee movement Coffee look

Pier and Ferris wheel Pier arch

Alcatraz

Lookout toward Alcatraz

From the pier I wisely invested a several dollars get have a Lime scooter haul me up to Coit Tower. The hill itself has panoramic views of the city, but for an $11 fee you can get the elevator up with a kooky volunteer and really get great views in every direction.
