Paradise

On Friday morning we walked about a block from the Intercontinental to our new digs at the Mosser Hotel. The Mosser is a turn of the 20th century building with tons of charm and character. Our room is about the size of the shower we had at the Intercontinental but it has everything we need. A comfy bed, nice natural light and a bay window that opens (there's no AC!), a comfy chair, free coffee in the morning and free wifi. As soon as we were settled we headed out to explore.

The weather is absolutely fabulous - 65 degrees, sunny and breezy. Warm in the sun and cool in the shade. The harbor is stunning and the views are to die for. Can we just stay here forever? 

The city is so vibrant and the people here are so friendly. 

We've seen some impressive acts and heard some outrageously good 

(and bad) music from the street performers.

The homeless are also friendly and entertaining. I mean come on, how could we not contribute?

 

Yesterday we had a cable car ride up,

and up

and up 

and then down

and down 

 

and down to Fisherman's wharf.  

There was a long walk along the harbor and out on the piers,

 

and an hour-long boat ride took us under the Golden Gate Bridge

and around Alcatraz.

We had dinner at the Crab House on Pier 39,

and a cable car ride home. 

We don't know what day it is and have stopped paying attention to the time. 

Ahhhhhhhh......
