We walked through Fisherman’s Wharf and had some GREAT food – I had a crab sandwich on a real sourdough roll (YUM!) and Jeff had fish and chips.  At the pier where the marine historical society is at there was a WWII submarine open for tours so we went inside and was able to walk through it.  Boy, talk about cramped spaces!  Getting through the hatches was more difficult than I thought it would it – in movies you see the guys grabbing the top and swinging through it but as I’m not a very fit 20 year old I had to sort of crawl through.  Jeff too as he’s much taller than any real submariner would be!  Here are a few pictures we took:

Here are some misc. pictures we took while touring San Francisco:

One block of Lombard Street in the city is so steep that instead of just making it a steep street (many we saw are about 15% grade (note that you’ll see many warning signs and truck brake inspection places etc. when you get about an 8% grade) they had to put in switchbacks.  People actually live on that block and have little parking spots right along the switchbacks.  We saw pedestrians walking down the hill and they had to hang on it was so steep!  Notice in the pictures looking down there were hoards of tourists at the bottom taking pictures!

Also included in this photo gallery are pictures of the city from the highest point called “Twin Peaks” (910 ft!)

We’ve been across the Golden Gate Bridge twice, once in our truck and once in a bus.  Plus, there are views of the bridge from many parts of the city.  During our walking tour of Fishermans Wharf we noticed a heavy fog coming in – a couple of the pictures below show just a little bit of the bridge through a heavy fog!
