OUR 27TH ANNIVERSARY IN SAN FRANCISCO

We had a great time in San Francisco celebrating our 27th anniversary. The drive from our boat only took one and a half hours and our hotel (Sheraton at Fisherman’s Wharf) was ideally located. It is only a block from the Embarcadero and all of the Piers there. The streetcar runs right behind the hotel to other spots in SF. We made it to our cruise on the bay and the tour of Alcatraz. The cells there were only about six feet by four feet and the prisoners had the additional punishment of seeing San Francisco so close across the bay that they could even hear the music and celebrations on New Year’s Eve.

We found two wonderful restaurants, Scomas for very fresh seafood on the Wharf and Gary Danko for a superb meal, great ambience and excellent service. On Saturday we went to the Farmers Market at the Ferry Building where hundreds of vendors have fresh fruit and vegetables, handmade cheeses and jams, breads and pastries and crafts. Most of it was organic. Inside the building are permanent shops with more goodies. We were able to take a goodly number back home with us.
