We are in San Francisco!

We drove under the Golden Gate Bridge late yesterday evening!  Yes, drove, not sailed, there was only enough wind to sail as soon as we turned the corner to go under the bridge coming out of Bonita Channel....we didn't feel it wise to take the time to put up the sails while current was sweeping us under the bridge just for a photo op.  We are tied up at pier 39  with the sea lions.  They are loud, but not as stinky as I feared.  It's really strange to be in tourist land after spending so much time at Point Reyes National Seashore with very few other people. A tad overwhelming, but it should be a great location for us to do all the things we want to do while in the city.  First on the boys' list?  Cable car rides!  Unfortunately Alcatraz tickets are all sold out and we won't be able to go this time.  Odin was very disappointed, but hopefully that was just the fatigue of the day setting in...hoo boy!


Lars was too distracted looking at the bridge, then a helicopter going under it, then at kite boarders and windsurfers to look at the camera for our celebration shot, too much good stuff!

Just a short post from my phone for now...

  1. Congrats. Fun city. Have Tor introduce you to a couple of the Mr. San Francisco sites.

  2. Yay! Like Lee said, congrats. Looks like it was a beautiful Golden Gate sort of day. Once the boys are in the city, cable cars and all, they will find plenty of new things to explore and enjoy. I remember Tor's stories about "Mr. San Francisco" so finding some of what he showed the Bjorklunds would be cool.
