For the next few blogs I'll be trying my hand at uploading pictures from our vacation in California. Leave the city of San Francisco (although I did like it, city life is just not me) out of this statement, but for the first time ever I thought I could actually live in California. We rented a convertible (Pontiac G6) and enjoyed the ride from the airport to the hotel.
Here is the view from the top of our hotel, the Hilton in downtown SF, followed by some other skyline and city views. They gave us a free upgrade to a junior suite (in addition to the fact the hotel was free with the rewards points we used). I had paid a little extra for the concierge level and this is the view you see from the concierge lounge.
At the end of day 1 we walked 2.5 miles over the hill from the hotel and had dinner at Fishermen's Warf. That hill was up hill at about a 60 degree angle for half of the walk and then down hill at the same angle for the balance. Some how we didn't end up with any pictures of the hill. I think we were to busy wondering if we wouldn't both end up in the hospital from having a heart attack trying to do that walk. Then we had to walk back home.
It was a touristy spot at the end of Pier 39, Neptunes Palace, the food was good (not great) but the view of the harbor was fantastic.
After dinner we saw the sea lions at the end of the wharf where the restaurant was located. Notice there were a few tourists here.
We finished the night with a drink in the lobby of the hotel and crashed by 9:30 PM PST (midnight body time since we had just arrived).
Tomorrow: Day 2 in San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sonoma and Chinatown.
