After we got all the business taken care of we went sightseeing. Can you believe it? I've lived in So. California all my live and have NEVER been to San Francisco. So much to see!!
But first - I met up with my dear friend, Sue. Sue and I grew up with each other. We haven't seen each other since our 20th high school reunion. Now that doesn't mean we haven't been in touch with each other over the years, because we have. But I tell you, we literally picked up right where we left off. Catching up on things and nonstop laughing. Our time went way too fast!
Of course we had to ride the cable car
The cars all lined up to go down the famous Lombard St.
The cable car took us down to the Wharf
And this to me just sums up what it means to be down at the wharf.
All the while being serenaded with music
Eating sourdough bread
Going into the original Gharidelli candy shop
Walking along the bay
Yes, it really was that cold and windy
We took a tour of the WWII Liberty Ship S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien. It was one of the ships at the battle of Normandy in 1944.
And yes, I had some unexpected emotions when I saw the radio room. My Dad served in the Navy during WWII and he was in a room just like this!
Then we tours the submarine USS Pampanito
Rob would not do well on a submarine - he is too tall!
We had a fabulous time! It went way too fast and so much more to see. That will be for the next trip.
