We Left Our Hearts in San Francisco

We spent the majority of our morning and afternoon at Pier 39 at the famous Fisherman's Wharf.  We had lunch at Players Sports Pub and then enjoyed a San Francisco street performer's juggling act.  He was quite entertaining despite his lame jokes.

We shopped like tourists and fell prey to some impulsive buying decisions - just because.  We then took a one-hour Bay Harbor cruise that highlighted some of the famous San Francisco sights.  We saw Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Downtown District and lots of cute and lazy Sea Lions.

The weather was very deceiving.  It was cold and cloudy, but somehow Tina got a very intense sunburn.  Her nickname is now Rudi, as in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  She no longer looks like a pasty white Oregonian!

We took a cab to AT&T Park and walked around the concourses, scoping out the food joints and taking in the sights of the stadium.  It was a perfectly sunny, but a little cool evening.  AT&T Park is one of the more beautiful stadiums, with magnificent views of the city and the bays.  We headed to our seats after getting some food.  We sat next to a nice family who have season tickets and talked briefly about our journey.  The Giants were playing the Minnesota Twins and the Twins scored 8 runs in the top of the first inning, so the rest of the game was pretty anti-climatic and many of the Giants fans left early.  The Twins ended up winning the game 9-3.  After the game we took a train back to the BART station, and then boarded the BART back to Oakland.  It was fairly quick and easy to get out of the stadium and back on the trains, considering the amount of people.
