The Bay
You live in a place, and you tend not to go see the tourist spots. I’ve been on this tour before, however–but only once. Today, Sachi and I took the bay cruise (Red & White Fleet edged out Blue & Gold by a dollar and by allowing reservations by phone), and were not disappointed. It’s an hour on the bay, and so long as you avoid the fog, you get a great deal. Here are some of the photos from the day.
This plucky gang of gulls had the gall to knock over a guy’s fried shrimp basket. Gulls: 1; Humans: 0.
This guy seemed like a homeless guy, but it’s not clear. He was not panhandling (best sign: “Need Money for Hookers,” seen elsewhere on the Wharf), instead he hid behind a trash receptacle and scared people as they passed by. 10 points for originality and local color.
Sachi spotted some Murrelets, I knew what they were. Well, sort of–they’re Murrelets, but I don’t know what kind. An interesting catch nonetheless. The little guys even resemble penguins to a degree.
Pelicans graced the bay, here just the one, but elsewhere in flocks.
What Fisherman’s Wharf visit would be complete without the Pier 39 seals?
And, of course, Alcatraz.
A generic shot of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Less generic.
Hi, everyone!
Nice pictures. How are you? It’s been awhile.
Connor? Who would you be?
If you and Satchi are in the LA during your trip, please drop by to say hello to my folks !!!
We corresponded for awhile back in 2004 about the Kerry ticket, etc.; it’s okay, it’s been a long time. I gave up blogging for awhile, so I just made it back around here lately.
