King Beecher & Queen Christina


One of the famous hills in San Fran. There are actually "HILL" signs throughout the city - ya think?!


A view of Alcatraz from Inspiration Point near the Golden Gate.


Crissy Field and a view of the skyline.


Cemetery at Presidio - over thirty thousand fallen soldiers were laid to rest in this thirty-acre cemetery which overlooks San Francisco Bay.


Kodak moment at the Golden Gate on our tour.


Alley in China Town where we got to peek inside a fortune cookie "factory."


Known as "postcard row." The yellow house with the red-bordered steps is the house where Full House TV show was shot.


At Fisherman's Wharf.

King Beecher & Queen Christina - that's how we've been treated since stepping out of the car here at Alger Ranch in Moraga, CA. Dave already mentioned the out of this world dinner we had the first night, but let us not forget the fresh plums and figs we picked for breakfast the next day, right off the trees in the back yard at Alger Ranch! DELICIOUS!

The train cable car rides into San Francisco yesterday were a little stressful for a claustrophobic country bumpkin like me, but still cool. The tour around the city in Mr. Toad's cozy car was amazing - China Town, Little Italy (both the largest anywhere in the USA), Postcard Row, Golden Gate Park (Summer of Love concert site), Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge...... I just had to share a few more pics with ya before we take off today on our own little adventure in the Shiny Motor.

Love to all and more pics soon to come!
