I have lots of great pictures but you will have to wait until I get home or move to a different location, Wu-fi here is terrible.
Downtown San Francisco, bought the trolley, at least I thought I bought it, but they wanted it back when I got off, turned out the cost to ride on the trolley might have purchased it not long ago. Prices are so high I could only afford a half cup of coffee. Had a great time with the other tourist from around the world, turns out the San Francisco folks can't understand Lower Alabameese any better than Chaniseese. but never mind, we won't starve because they will not let you leave if you still have some money.\
Saw great sailing ships, old WW2 subs, ferry's that were used in the early 1900's, bought another trolley, went to the chocolate place Gearedellies and we ate $15 worth of ice cream and I left hungry, it was good though. Visited the curviest street town, its one way-down hill with traffic lined up to drive down, only thing they don't charge for.
Visited Nob Hill where the rich folks lived at the turn of the century, turns out when the 1906 earthquake hit these buildings fell down just like the poor folks homes, but they did a great job of building back--just really crowded, houses have common walls for the entire block, a house 30 ft wide will have 3 apts 10 wide, 50 ft deep and 3 stories tall, with rent of $3000 a month. makes me glad I live in Alabama.
Headed back tomorrow to the farmers market, can't wait to see what a California Farmer looks like that has eggs that come from a contented hen. Understand Alabama has joined 7 other states in a law suit against CA because CA says any eggs sold here has to come from chickens that can spread their wings without touching anything. NATURAL is the way to go out here---you should see some of the natural folks--makes you proud to be an American.
Will try to post pictures tomorrow--of a CA Farmer.
