San Francisco - Day three

So... I took a lot of pictures in San Francisco.

Like, a lot.  You've been warned.

My third "real" day in San Fran-- that is, my first day outside of the conference-- started out chilly & cloudy. Which was kind of a bummer, cause the previous days had been so beautiful. But anyway, I got up early and went down to Fisherman's Wharf for a latte & croissant & some sightseeing.

Fisherman's Wharf was actually pretty beautiful. I happened upon a few hundred barking sea lions.

 

From there on, I just wandered. Uptown and downtown. 

The clouds burned off by lunchtime, and I walked up to the Italian section of the city.

 

 I started walking upward, toward the Coit Tower and Telegraph Hill. Didn't see any parrots, though.

Next, headed to Chinatown. Really reminded me of being in Boston's Chinatown (of all things).

 

I really, really like this place.

Finished out at Ghiradelli Square on the way back to the hotel.

"The Girls Are Back!"

Also, I got my first glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge!
