The reason we arranged a short stopover in San Francisco was to visit Jim who was on 'New York' with Martin in the Clipper 11-12 race. Jim and his wife divide their time between 2 homes ( in San Francisco and Nova Scotia) and we were all looking forward to spending time together. However, Jim's best friend passed away last week so they have had to fly up to Canada. So we have to find something to fill the next 2 and a half days. We have done all the normal tourist attractions here on previous visits so it is a challenge to find something different to do- on a budget too. But if I had to choose an american city to spend time wandering around San Francisco would be top choice.
So we did just that today. We walked for miles stopping at some places I had found when googling 'free hidden San Francisco'. It is strange having spent weeks in the spring in the southern hemisphere that we are suddenly in autumn with the early dark nights, leaves falling off the trees and cooler weather. Also having spent weeks saying hi to everyone we passed in New Zealand and the Cook Islands we have had to adjust to the city way of not doing that.
