Trip to San Francisco

My daughter sent me to San Francisco to meet her for a long weekend. Her friend Randy joined us on our adventure. We walked mostly everywhere. We did get an Uber to take us to the Golden gate bridge, but wouldn't take us back. He refused, so we walked back across and got a cab. So we walked the Golden Gate bridge!! It was fun just a little bit windy. Chinatown was cool. Nothing opened til like 10-12 o'clock. So it was quite, but enjoyable. Not much homeless where we were. We also went to Ghirardelli chocolate factory. OMG!! Amazing sundaes!! If you ever get a chance to go it's a must!!! We also went to Alcatraz for a tour at sunset. It's the best way to see a sunset over /under the Golden Gate bridge I think . Alcatraz was great as well the people there to assist us was great. I even got a DVD of what they were talking about on the tour. They leave Al Capone's cell open for all to see. That was cool too. They also had in the basement cells for solitary for like 18 days in and a few days out this went on for over 18 months. 1 of the inmates granddaughter came wanted to see where he was kept. She found his number on the wall after everyone else couldn't find anything there. They also used ash from the fires there to write theirs name on the wall. We saw one for James and one for Shawn. That was wild. 

   Fisherman's wharf was /is always cool to go see. Seals just coming up to get the food then they throw it against the best times to see them. 

 

New adventure cross country

Hello everyone,  well I made it from New Mexico to South Carolina.  I left Tuesday morning and got to SC on Saturday.  It was a long drive. Most days it was 250 miles maybe 300. Saturday was my longest driving day ever!! 501 miles. Reason was there was no place to pull off and stay for the night.  They were either already full or just no room. So I kept going.  13 hours later I was in Colleton State Park, SC.
