California Day Four



The early morning was spent booking tickets online for the Giants baseball game at 18:05 as they had advertised bleacher tickets on the TV. Got as far as the final hurdle then realised didn't have a printer for the tickets so went onto the phone and booked that way. Very easy even if I had an argument with the voice activated response system. We then caught the bus at the end of the drive which seemed the most convenient way to get into the City without a car and then got down onto the pierside for a short walk in the blazing sun up hundreds of steps to Coits Tower with far reaching views - no mist today. Further exploring of more districts including North Beach and then a lunch at a place called Annabel's a 1930's wooden bar and bistro. Then onto the Art Museum but after two pints of the local steamer ale it was time for a siesta in the nearby Park. Went onto the game which was entertaining as there was plenty of banter around us and no shortage of wholesome american snacks including eyesh cold limonade. Billy bought a big Giants finger. Great view of the Bay and first time we have heard the American anthem (all stand please).
