A few photos from my weekend in San Francisco

[mikelan6]

I took my nephew to San Francisco for the weekend and I'd like to share a few of the photos with you. I hope you enjoy them.

The view from Coit Tower.

This poor man was rowing his boat against the current.

Beautiful Golden Gate Bridge

Pier 1 at the Embarcadero

The impressive redwoods in Muir Woods

At one of the vineyards in Sonoma Valley

Taking the BART to San Francisco

What better way to get around than with the cable car

We stayed at the Marriott Union Square

The view from our room

The Star Princess was in town that day

Alcatraz ... "The Rock"

Inside the Alcatraz Penetentiary

The prisoners had a fabulous view of the city

Historic streetcars ride up and down the waterfront and Market Street

My nephew on his Segway during our tour - and yes, we rode them down Lombard Street!​

We had a great time. Thanks for looking.

Looks like you did a lot. I'm from Sonoma County just north of SF, so that one pic is a common sight for me and I love it. SF is fun for a visit once in a while but I really don't like going there that often and try to avoid it if I can. Guess I don't really like big cities but I've done the Alcatraz tour and enjoyed it. Also Angel Island and Pier 39 and years ago drove down Lombard Street. Thanks for sharing!

Ahh, memories !

Thanks for those. We used to have an apartment on Post St. several years ago.

I dearly LUV that city, it's just SO pricey to live there.

I really miss it.

Your photos are wonderful, Mike. We just moved to CA last summer (08) and have so much exploring to do of the great state of California. San Francisco is on the top of the list. Hoping to get there sooner than later.

Oh, my!

I've been to SF once, about 16 years ago, and really loved the city. I really want to go back.

Thanks for sharing!

What great pics Mike! I can't wait to get back to San Francisco. I haven't been since 2000. It looks like you had a great time.

Great pictures Mike! I just returned from San Francisco tonight. It looks like you had a lot more fun than I did! (I was at a conference.) We did have a nice time, we just didn't have a lot of free time. Maybe we passed each other on the street.

Did you see the guy that had a dog with a cat on it's back, and the cat had a rat on it's back? Crazy. I post a picture of it tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing the pics. It looks like you had a great time. Hubby and I went a few years ago. We never made it to Alcatraz because of bad weather and the boats stopped running. We did drive to Muir woods but they weather was also bad and I was a nervous reck. We pulled in than headed back to the hotel lol

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

I was wearing a Disney jacket and a WDW sweatshirt ...

I didn't see the cat and the rat, but I saw a lot of "characters" on Fisherman's Wharf.

Great, Great photos Mike. Thanks for sharing them. That view of the city from Alcatraz is priceless. It looks like you had spectacular weather too!
