San Francisco Part 2

By
Day 2 of San Francisco adventures started with a breakfast at the Hollywood Cafe which was really busy and very tasty. I had hash browns and a giant fruit cup.

Then a nice walk along the water


To spy on fat seals!



So many!












Alcatraz





Then it was off to Alcatraz!



We found a spot at the front of the boat that didn't make us all sick






We had no fun. No fun at all.

Man such a gorgeous day









When you arrive you get a little welcome talk, then you can watch a short film about Alcatraz, then you are free to wander. You can take an audio tour through the jail, which we did, and spend as much time as you want exploring. I have approximately a billion photos of the tour and such













































Some examples of what the cells looked like with the inmate's things




They could see and hear the city. So close, yet so far away













































The tour was great. It told you lots of stories about the inmates and people who worked on Alcatraz and everything. If you are in San Francisco and have the time I would highly recommend going out to Alcatraz. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Plus if it is a beautiful day like we had you get a nice little boat ride and a gorgeous view of the city. 

Once we got back it was time for lunch! There was a veggie place I had wanted to go to, but they were closed so we went to a Thai place that was nearby

I love Pad See Ew! 

Then exploring around the waterfront some more



Then a walk along the water back to our hotel. We were all pretty tired from a long day of walking around. 

But it was perfect timing as it was sunset











Later a quick dinner at Saiwalks Vietnamese restaurant (I also love Pho!)


And then off to trivia at Monaghan's. We didn't win, but we sure had fun! The next morning was just get up, get some breakfast (we went back to the Hollywood Cafe again) then off to the airport for our flight to Seattle.

San Francisco was so much fun. I really loved the city now that I had a chance to explore it. It was absolutely gorgeous and getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia was awesome. We definitely need to have more ladies trips!

The boat home was just as smooth and uneventful as the ride to Iceland. We left Iceland at 8pm Wed, Thurs at 3pm we arrive in Tórshavn and had a few hours to wander around, then back to the boat for the night, Friday was at sea, and Saturday we arrived in Hirtshals at 11am.

That is it for our Iceland adventures! I wanted to post one last wrap up just to say a few things I didn't put elsewhere, or organize my overall thoughts in one place.

The end

By
So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
