DATE: Wednesday 6 September, 1995
PLACE: San Francisco
WEATHER: Hot
REMARKS: Jayne and Charlotte wake very early and are eager
for breakfast; their clocks are way out!
Spirits are the better for a sleep, and an American-style
hearty breakfast.
We are collected for a city tour by coach. This is to be
a lovely 3.5 hours. We have a pleasant, informative guide
with good knowledge and a smooth patter - a real SF-lover.
We pass through a variety of communities / districts with
differing characteristics. A brief stop at the original mission
- which is lovely and very Spanish; a refreshing change after
the Italian and French religious sites we've seen. The day
is quite clear and the view from the heights overlooking the
city and the Bridge is impressive.
We finish the tour at Fisherman's Wharf; have a late lunch,
buy-shirts, a new suitcase and catch the shuttle back to the
hotel.
We have spotted a bookshop, so we go in search of Sarah's
long-promised Sweet Valley books, before dining in another
hotel. The servings are huge and the kids struggle.
