The walk up to Coit Tower

It has been quite a journey to get to this tower. I'm sure it will be worth it!!

Coit Tower

We hiked up to Coit Tower. This was bequeathed to the city by one of the wealthy socialites of the town. The tower was built as an icon to San Francisco's skyline. It sits atop Telegraph Hill which overlooks San Francisco Bay. There are beautiful views everywhere you look. In the third picture the fog was covering the Golden Gate Bridge so that you could only see the very top.

The Wharf at Pier 39

After many miles of walking we have finally made it to the Wharf. This area is a buzz of activity. We found a nice place to eat lunch...of course out side. It had a wonderful view of the bay and plus a great place to watch the sea lions play.

Ghirardelli Square

After our lunch we wondered down the Wharf and found ourselves at Ghirardelli Square. Of course we had to go in and enjoy some chocolate.....and they give away free samples......yum yum

Also the other pics are the view from outside the store. Looking down toward the bay and across the street at one of the many beautiful buildings the city is known for.

Just enjoying the views

The Golden Gate Bridge

Now the Golden Gate Bridge. We were able to enjoy some magnificent views of the bridge because the weather was so clear. There was no fog covering the bridge at this time and not a cloud in the sky. We couldn't have ordered a better day.

Sausalito

We ended our day at Sausalito which is across the Golden Gate Bridge. The view was spectacular looking back on the city. This little area is very quaint with a lot of shops and restaurants. It is world renowned for its Mediterranean flair and breathtaking views and I can easily see why. I hope the pictures depict some of the beauty we experienced. All pictures are the view we had while enjoying a delicious dinner.
