Coit Tower

Today we had a slow day.  We got up later than normal as we didn't get home and to bed until after 12 yesterday.  So Lori and I worked out.

Then we went to Coit Tower.  It had wonderful views.

After Coit Tower we went to Union Square.  Just walked around for a bit.  I came back to the hotel and worked on some school stuff.

Alcatraz and Lombard Street

Another beautiful day!!

We started out with a shorter workout because we had to be down at the Ferry building for our Alcatraz tour.

Alcatraz sure has deteriorated a lot since the last time I was there in the early 80's.  Lots of hills to climb.

Here are some pictures from there

Then we walked down to Fisherman's Wharf and had lunch.  After Lunch we walked up a major hill to Lombard Street






 Lori and I walked up the 200+ stairs to the top of the street and then down the other side!!
 Here's the hill we walked up to get to the street!
