Turned out nice again!
A grey drizzly start to the day inspired us to run for the 'hop-on, hop-off' tour bus. We sat back and took in the Golden Gate Park and Downtown loops. When the tours ended it was time to head off to Macey's roof-top "Cheesecake Factory" in Union Square.We got lucky, as after a quick sandwich we found that the skies had cleared and the sun had emerged......so we took to the streets and walked through the Financial District, passing its unique Trans-America Bank building (the tallest building in San Francisco) and onto Chinatown and the Italian District where the beautiful Church of St Peter & Paul is situated (and where Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe's wedding photographs were taken).Then, before ascending the steps to Coit Tower, we saw what its like to park on the street here! Reaching the famous landmark we had great views of the Bay and Alcatraz. We walked back to Union Square in the late afternoon, through Chinatown, to discover a swing band playing and people dancing in the Square.Its a nice city! And here's an old but relevant track for where we find ourselves today.....
