Well it's really day two, but we didn't arrive until 21:30 local time in San Francisco yesterday after quite a stressful transfer in Calgary. Apart from Jacob's Rugby tour last year, this was our family's first and very short visit to Canadian soil where we had to change planes, collect and transfer our luggage and also clear both Canadian and US Customs in 30 minutes. Needless to say we didn't, however, they held the flight so it was a scene out of Dumb and Dumber as we all ran down the entry gate onto the plane thinking we might all land on the tarmac at the end. We are staying in Twin Peaks in
a wonderful home and today I'm wearing my Twin Peaks t-shirt which seemed appropriate. Today we have taken the 49 mile city tour which is signposted (sort of) and helps you get an idea of the variety on offer in this place from the piers, to the parks, past the skyscrapers and the japanese and chinese quarters as well as the Golden Gate Bridge of course. We have hired a car which is truly massive Chrysler Town and Country which needs an internal intercom for the rear set of seats but is ideal for street cruising. Although it is now 1am in the morning (UK) we are ready for the evening after a visit to an award winning
50's diner which was advertised on the route map and which took us to Fisherman's Wharf along our route. In the picture we are gazing at the Twin Peaks to our left rather than the city vista behind us. Today was a little hazy but we hope to go back and get a clearer view of the Bridge before we leave.
