FISHERMAN'S WHARF
FARMER'S MARKET
The market is held both in front of the Ferry Building and on the rear plaza overlooking the Bay. The markets offer fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, meats and eggs from small regional farmers and ranchers, many of whom are certified organic. A wealth of other products include regional artisan specialties such as breads, cheeses and jams. Also includes local restaurants serving a variety of hot, delicious meals as you can see from some of the pictures. My TIP - GO HUNGRY!
STREET ENTERTAINERS
Okay, so I promised to tell you who my 2 favorite street performers were... did you guess yet. Well taking 2nd place would be the "Tapping Guys" I really enjoyed watching them and thought that Bri would love to have seen this as well. And topping out the # 1 spot for Anna's favorite San Francisco Street Performer is 'THE BUSH MAN" Oh my goodness, I literally stood on that street corner watching this man scare the heck out of people for 1/2 an hour and could have stayed all night (til it got cold) if Mark, Eddie and Joyce hadn't pulled me away. There was nothing funnier than this, I have so many video clips and will try to get
some up on the blog.
SCENIC VIEWS
LOMBARD STREET
The CROOKEDEST (most winding) street in the world. It is located on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets and is 1/4 mile long. The one way road has eight sharp turns or switchbacks and was orginally designed in order to reduce the hill's natural 27% grade which was too steep for most vehicles to climb.
GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
This was our day to walk/run across the Golden Gate Bridge. I think by the end of this 2nd day we had walked over 20,000 steps. These pictures are all taken on/at/from different points on the bridge. Have you ever wanted to know How Long It Took to Build the Bridge?
