Sat 8 Mar-Death March Across Golden Gate Bridge and other tourist tales

Still no luck posting photos.
Another great weather day, 72, not much wind and lots of sunshine.  Judith and I went to the Farmers Market this morning, lots of folks shopping, eating and looking around and prices I could not believe.  Large eggs (from contented chickens I am sure) $11 a dozen, sweet potatoes $1.50 a pound, lots of other bargains.  Beautiful flowers and the price was almost reasonable.
  We went to Pier 39 and walked around, 150 stores to spend your money, no outlets stores, no Home Depot or Lowes, I may be having some kind of withdrawal.
  Then on to the Golden Gate Bridge, 1.2 miles each way, hundreds of bikes, runners and walkers, all in a hurry, but the weather was beautiful, sunshine and great visibility with little wind.  It was a great walk with lots to see, sail boats everywhere, large ships moving under the bridge and some idiot flying a helicopter back and fourth under the bridge.  After the great views from the bridge walking around the neighood won't be the same.
  Tomorrow will be a take it easy day, we are within walking distance of the Chapel then a visit to China Town, and home early.
