More San Francisco

Today is Veterans' Day.  Visited Berkeley by BART (the very efficient train system).  Wandered around town and the very pretty campus.  This afternoon trolley car to Fishermens' Wharf - chocolate sundae by the water and wandered around.  A really nice, sunny San Francisco afternoon.

Yesterday had a really interesting morning wandering around down-market residential areas of San Francisco - the sort of fascinating stuff I normally don't have time for.  San Francisco really has a lot of homeless people.

Yesterday afternoon M and I visited Alcatraz - a short ferry, as the island is only 1 1/2 miles off San Francisco.  Alcatraz was really interesting - an amazing audio tour and a slice of history.
