San Fran Day Two and Three

Limited time today, we are heading out soon to the big race!! So, Here are some brief pics of our adventures... Friday we hiked over the Golden Gate bridge and back.

We then headed to Salsalito for a burger and a root beer. It was a cute town with lots of shops and riverfront restaurants.




This is a chart at Alcatraz that shows how many different languages you can get your audio tour in. Lots. It was fun guessing where people where from or what language they were speaking. Some are completely obvious, others not so much.








This was a part of Alcatraz we had never seen before. They only have it open on the night tours. It was the hospital part of the prison. The 'bird man' Robert Stroud spent 11 of 17 years here. They even had his room labeled.








Saturday it was on and off rain, so we grabbed our umbrella's and headed to Muir Woods, after stopping by the packet pick up and race store. That was CRAZY BUSY.

If I look a bit dishevled, it is 'cause I had to run to get in the picture in time. lol.







We headed to The Stinking Rose, an italian place that says they 'season their garlic with food'. They were not kidding. We walked there from our hotel and found out that we were in little Italy. Loved all the italian places and language in that area.

Then we headed down to Pier 39 to shop a bit and enjoy the view.








After the Woods we came upon this. Not a great way to end up. Locals told us everyone was ok.
Ok, time to go.
Gotta pack and shower! Next up, Race pics! Woo Hoo!!
