September is the BEST month to go to the city. For one, the tourists have "toned down" a bit so a little bit more elbow room.
Take BART to the city; catch the cable car, down a block from there, and head to the wharf; it's a fun way to get there! Have a shrimp sammich or eat a freshly-cooked crab w/sourdough bread.
There are GOBS of stores to check out; art galleries; street preformers; AND...tours to Alcatraz Island where Clint Eastwood starred in 'Escape from Alcatraz.'
If you can, go for a spin around the bay in a sail boat, stopping at Angel Island for a picnic lunch and a bike ride around the island. Sailing the Bay is one of *the* most beautiful ways to see the city on the way back to shore (Alameda)!
Wow, San Francisco in the sun! That doesn't happen often ;-)

Heck, no; I don't miss the area a bit! :-/
Did you notice the 3-D mode on Google maps "streetview"?
ReplyDeleteWhen you get the streetview on-scree, right click and select 3-d mode.
We've seen examples in Manchester and Palo Alto, don't know where else it's available.
