I think we have done an excellent job at covering San Francisco by walking (lots), bus, BART, car and cable car. And to top it off we are watching the San Francisco Giants play the Phillies.....top of the ninth and it is tied!! (They just won, 6-5 and now are ahead three games to one, a game away from heading to the world series.)
This morning started with a bus trip to the DeYoung Museum in the Golden Gate Park and reserved tickets for the Impressionist exhibit, from the Musee d'Orsay where we were this summer in Paris. Lots of Van Gogh, Renoirs, Cezannes and Gaugin. The Orsay is sending a lot of its collection on tour while they renovate, so we get to see some of their masterpieces. Wild! Then we took a bus ride to Cliff House and a romantic lunch of clam chowder and shrimp Louis with views of the ocean. Pelicans kept flying by, and surfers popped up in the waves. Returned to downtown by bus and we walked from Union Square to City Lights Bookstore. And finally one more bus ride part way home to relax, snack and watch the ball game. Ahhh. Tomorrow we head north.
