July 4th – San
Francisco
 |
| Our room at the Marriott |
For the first time ever, we had to fly out of Peoria , which meant getting up at 3:45am to drive to Peoria for a 7:00am flight from Peoria
to Dallas to San Francisco . We miss AirTran Airways.
The flight to Dallas was
fine; however, when we went to leave, we ending sitting on the end of the
runway for about an hour waiting for the fog in San Francisco to clear.

The Marriott upgraded us to a junior suite and we really
appreciate the extra room and two closets.
After unpacking, it was off to Fisherman’s Warf, just two
blocks away. What a tourist place but it
was fun and the number of food places is increditable.
We ate crab cakes and shrimp and walked around until we had walked
for 2.8 miles and were tired.

Then we took a tour of a WWII submarine that was docked at
the waft – unbelievable that sailors could live in those conditions. We both
agreed that we could not.
We also took our first trolley ride and have purchased a 7
day pass so that we can use public transpiration everywhere. 90% of the people of San Francisco live within two block of public
transportation.
There is a Walgreens a block away, so we bought some food
and sodas to take to the room and crashed early tonight. As I am writing this, we have been up for 16
hours.
