Going to Fishermans Wharf on 9/11

We took the BART to the Fishermans Wharf area on Sunday 9/11. That in itself is an experience! Downtown San Francisco is really nice and we enjoyed looking at all the highrise buildings. Fishermans Wharf is a big area and we were amazed by the number of tourists. You can also see Alcatraz from the area, I always thought it was a long way from land but its not. The Golden Gate Bridge could be seen from the docks as it was a clear day. Alot of people never get to see the bridge, just like Mt. McKinley, so we were lucky again. We did find out the reason for the number of people in the area, there was a Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival and not to far away was a huge festival in Chinatown. We took the old trolley to Chinatown, which was a lot of fun as Suzanne and I hung off the side of the trolley.
