A Perfect Day in San Francisco

We awoke from our Sequoia trip a bit grumpy and tired.  So what would we do to spark some adventure?  First we discussed all sorts of local options for camping -- and lucky for us we were able to get a permit for Pt Reyes and we leave Sunday for a 3 night backpacking trip.  AND the weather in the Bay Area has finally decided to be seasonal -- so we are enjoying Indian Summer conditions (warm with no fog).

So, we decided to ride our bikes to San Francisco today and take the ferry home.  We had been talking about this trip on and off during the summer -- and now the day was here.

And it was one of the most perfect days in San Francisco I can remember.  Gorgeous blue skies, warm but not hot temperatures, and almost no wind.

We rode to the City -- and found that every tourist in town had rented a bike and was also trying to cross the Bridge and see the sights.

Alan had a flat tire on the bridge! but thankfully he was able to change it with no problems.

We rode through the Presidio, along Lake Street (to see my old favorite first apartment building), through  Mountain Lake Park and then to Clement Street.  We had dim sum for lunch -- I think we were about the only non-Asians in the place.

Then down to Crissy Field and slowly over to the Ferry Building.  

We caught the Ferry back to Larkspur and then rode home.
Sure better than freezing in the mountains!
