a weekend in SF

This weekend Kathy and I went up to San Francisco to see the city. We stayed with Nick and Judi, who were great hosts as always. My back was especially appreciative of their hot tub.

We got up to the Bay area on Friday evening, and then hit SF on Saturday. Kathy really wanted clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, so we got that for a brunch of sorts, and then just started walking. We didn't have any sort of destination, and eventually ended up walking across the Golden Gate Bridge and down to Sausalito, where we caught a ferry back to town. Quite a walk, and my left knee decided that it didn't take too kindly too it. Mapquest says that from Market and The Embarcadero to Sausalito is 9.5 miles, and that's taking the direct route downtown, so I'd say we probably walked a touch over 10 miles. Back in SF we ate a snack at Ghirardelli and then walked back through North Beach and Chinatown.

A good time was had by all (or both of us, at least).
