Pictures

Here are some pictures we have taken recently.

First up: San Francisco pictures.



We climbed a whole bunch of stairs like these to the top of Telegraph Hill where Coit Tower sits.



This is Coit Tower. We got some really great shots of the city and of Alcatraz from up here.





A great one of Mark in the shade of the foliage on Telegraph Hill.




Mark and this really funny street performer we saw on Pier 39.








Me on the pier with Alcatraz in the background.





Mark got too close to the binocular thingies and bumped his nose.






On the ferry to Alcatraz. I like this one because I am in so much awe that it looks like I might crap my pants any minute.








The requisite "I'm in jail!" pictures. Whereas I am relatively at ease with being behind bars, Mark looks a little more apprehensive, perhaps because he knows what happens to good looking guys like him in prison.



It seemed like nothing was free in San Francisco, so we were pleased to find that the Cable Car Museum was.

This is the cable car we rode from the Cable Car Museum down to Fisherman's Wharf.


Here is the submarine we got to tour: the Pampanito. Very very cool.


This guy was a crazy homeless man (or street performer) we saw on two separate occasions. He liked to hide behind branches and jump out at people as they walked by. Totally hilarious.

That's all I have time for for now. Stay tuned for more pictures and more posts.
