ON TO SAN FRANCISCO

 WE continued on along the coastal highway, through forest and farmland and always the ocean views like this one above and the roads climbing and dipping and numerous switchbacks. We stopped for the night at a nice campground in Bodega Bay about 40 miles north of San Francisco but on these roads in is nearly a 2 hour drive.

 WE leave trekkie  at a place called Tiburon and take the ferry to SF and dock at pier  41, the world famous Fisherman's Wharf.  It was just what you read or hear and a whole lot more  The place was pretty crowded and all the restaurants were very busy. 

 There were all kinds of street entertainers like this guy who got his jollies scaring people

and gold and silver man who just stood motionlessly most of the time..  There were guys playing bongos and all kinds of guys playing musically instruments of all kinds and singers.  Of course all of them had the pail out in front for donations.
there were all kinds of  people of all ages wearing the most freakish things you can imagine.
And there were people wearing nothing.  Yup, two guys and one girl totally nude and they were painting each other.  They seemed to be attracting a crowd.  No never got a picture.
We are now back at the same campground for a day or two of R&R, we booked a tour of Alcatraz but not until Monday so this is a  a nice place to stay for the  weekend.
  AS I type this  I am reminded of stories of  SF where the fog rolls in and we are now witnessing that happening.  We are by the ocean and the fog seems to actually roll as in comes inland, not sure how thick it will get but the wind appears to keep it moving.
