Here is another repost from my trip to the USA. It was a great afternoon with my sister in law. I see the play we went to see is no long playing.
When I was staying with my sister in law she took me into the city of San Francisco. The plan was to see a play, Beach Blanket Babylon. We decided to go in early and explore around the piers on the side of the bay, see the play then maybe dinner afterwards.
It is quite amusing that the play we were going to see also have a Boulevard named after it.
From the carpark we walked down the street and headed to the bayside area.
As we were walking there we could see the fog rolling in. So incredible to see fog rolling in in the middle of the afternoon. The sun was still shining, it wasn’t cold, but there was this fog. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
The area around pier 41, Fisherman’s Wharf and another Aquatic area, can’t remember the name of it now. It had lots of things happening and going on. It was good fun to walk around and just watch the people.
I had my first taste of Clam Chowder there. It was so good.
The streets and how steep they were was something I had to take photos of. It certainly didn’t make you want to walk around much.
A photo of Alcatraz. In the gallery at the end you will see another photo of it, but you can’t see it much because it is covered in fog. It lifted a little and you can see it a bit better.
You can see some great architecture as you wander and I especially liked this one of the house with its own trolley car. It was the only one I really wanted to go in.
Look at how steep they are, the road looks like it finishes, but it doesn’t.
It was a great day, and I really enjoyed just walking around and seeing things. We had to get back so we could see the matinee performance of the play. More on that tomorrow.
Here is a gallery of the above images and some more from that afternoon. I hope your weekend is looking great and you are looking forward to getting out and taking some photos.
This is so strange. The gallery showed up just fine, but the individual images did not. When I clicked on the box where they should be, it said access was denied and I needed to be logged in. But I am logged in! WP is such a pain sometimes.
I worked out what the problem was Lois, if you wouldn’t mind can you please go back and see if it works now.
It is because I copied and pasted the post from my old blog, which I have now made private, so apparently I am the only one that can view the photos. I uploaded the photos for the gallery, and have replaced those ones with the newly uploaded, so hopefully they work now.
Yes! they are all there now! Thanks, Leanne.
You’re welcome, thank you for taking another look for me.
Great photos Leanne. Isn’t it nice to have the memories they bring back.
Thank you Anne, yes, it really is. I often forget places and then seeing the photos always bring back the memories of that time.
Your gallery is great, but for some reason your singly-displayed shots aren’t – er- diplaying. To me, anyway. I just get a message saying ‘access denied’. 😢
That is weird, though all those images are in the gallery, it might have been how I copied the post. I will take a look and see. thank you Margaret.
love all the fog in the pics, a hallmark of San Fran
I saw quite a bit of it when I was there. Thank you Beth.
