Day 3
DAY 3:
This day we decided to try and get a closer look at both China Town, the Golden Gate Bridge and the ‘Crookedest Street’ called Lombard Street. We were in for a long walk again, not wanting to take the Cable Car. We wanted to see everything!
A couple of blocks from the hotel we were busted by a ‘cop’ for ‘looking too serious’ and having a ‘beautiful smile’ ( Guess who the latter was ;) ). We were given ‘I Love San Francisco’ and ‘I love your smile’ stickers all for the cause of the homeless. They asked for a donation. It was a nice way to approach people. Ha.
It’s fun to see how in China Town there is hardly anything American. Even the food that was put outside on display didn’t look like anything I had ever seen before. Lots of tourists out there, so it was difficult trying to get a decent picture of the ‘gate’ of China Town. Have a look for yourself, think we managed. :)
After this we walked to the ‘Coit Tower’. There was a nice view on the city from the top and we took some pictures. This way we were able to see everything on the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay bridge and of course, Alcatraz.
Next stop was Lombard Street a.k.a. ‘Crookedest Street’.It runs down a very steep hill, going from left to right. It probably shows better on the picture than the way I explain it.
Made me wonder why there were so many cars coming down this street, instead of taking another. Looked like a challenge driving down this thing. See for yourself. :)
After this we went to Pier 39, had lunch and shopped a little. I even got sun burnt on top of my head, how’s that! Ouch.
Tomorrow we will be going to Alamo, which is the place where I made reservations for the carrental.We will also be checking out of this hotel and our next stop will be Pfeiffer State Park in Big Sur. Nearly 166 Miles down the coast. Fun!
I doubt there will be any public Wi-Fi hotspot at the Park, so it’s uncertain when our next entry in the weblog will be. Keep checking!

Hey Linda...
Nice pictures, it's from your new digital camera I think so. How does "Tommy" do his work? You know the Navigator. Isn't he speak "better" english than I can type :-). I hope so.
Clio and Maya are sweet and hungry. But they are happy when they see me, Exactly I give the food and a hug. (knuffel).
Your flowers have wet feets, if you think what I means.
Do you see anything from Heineken Beer, of isn't not to swollow ?
Do you know escalator? It's an autmatic stair. Nice if we know that the Netherlands are flat.
Bye bye. Tim.
