This morning Barb and I left our car at the motel in Berkeley and walked to the Bart (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station around the corner and took the train under the bay into San Francisco.
We hiked up some hills to the symbolic entrance to Chinatown, where we followed an hour-long walking tour that Barb found on the Internet. In Chinatown, we walked up and down steep streets, visited many of the shops and enjoyed the unique architecture of the area. We visited a fortune cookie factory where we saw a woman stuffing and folding fortune cookies.
Next, we walked to Fisherman's Wharf where we enjoyed clam chowder and San Francisco sourdough bread (Can't get bread like this back home!) and a view of the harbor.
Finally, we bought one-day passes for the cable cars and took both the Hyde and Powell lines and the California - Van Ness lines. The latter took us through Nob hill. Our final stop let us off at the Embarcadero where we caught the Bart back to Berkeley.
Sounds like a great day. I like Barb's new friend.
