Still in San Francisco

It was Easter Sunday, and we spent the day riding trains around through different neighborhoods and seeking out a former brother-in-law of Valerie's. They live in what I assume would be called the "Sunset District"... or is just the "Sunset?" This is an area a mile or two inland from the Pacific Ocean, and was comprised of row houses -- most of which were in decent condition, but not necessarily "mint" condition, like the ones you'd see in the Marina District.

These houses are cozy, but not built like they are today. People didn't have as much "stuff" back in the late 1940's when they were built... today we have so many toys that you have to have a house built to accommodate all of the junk you're bringing with you! There was a real estate sign with information about a house on the same block; it was selling for somewhere around $1,160,000! We were thinking of buying "his and hers" homes there... just a little pocket change! To see the homes in this area, click here , type in "San Francisco CA" and then hit the search button without adding any minimum or maximum prices, or bedroom numbers, etc. You'll get to see some outrageous housing costs!

We stayed there for a couple of hours and then journeyed on toward the wharf for one more episode for eating at Scoma's. We caught a bus that traveled northward right to the base of the Golden Gate bridge, where there's a parking area for tourists and sightseers as well as a bus stop. Then it was back toward the city and the Marina district, where we got off and walked through Fort Mason toward the wharf area (which describes where the photo was taken and where it was pointing toward).

The food was amazing as always, and then we caught a cable car and rode back to within one block of our hotel. It wasn't even 9:00 PM, and I was ready to pass out... pretty pathetic, isn't it?
