San Francsco Ramblings

Highlights of our ramblings included riding the San Francisco trolley and visiting Coit tower on Telegraph Hill. If you squint, you can see the tower in the background. Coit Tower is worth a visit for its spectacular views of both the city, Golden Gate Bridge and all of the Bay area, and its depression-era public art works murals painted in 1934 in the Diego Rivera social style.




Couldn't miss a walk down Lombard street.... or...

dinner at Fishermen's Warf.

We finished our visit with the Castro and Mission districts. The Castro district is the center of the gay community with a memorial to Harvey Milk, the first openly gay city supervisor who was shot in 1978. The old hispanic Mission district is known for its many colorful murals. Note Golden Gate Bridge in the background.
