California Day Three

A visit to Golden Gate Park in the morning which included a visit to the arboretum, the AIDS memorial garden and Shakespeare's Garden which contains every plant mentioned in Shakespeare's plays. We also visited Stows Lake and hired a 6 seater bike which we cycled round the whole park for about an hour much amusement down hill (very fast) much straining up hill (only one person cycling). Lots of health and safety warnings including helmets...we then walked back to the MUNI to catch the train into the city for a good walk around including the Piers, Fisherman's Wharf, the financial districts. We saw a guy in his underpants (only) and a guitar but didn't get on a cable car (too crowded today). Ended up in Sinbads for a drink on the waterside where we saw Jack Sparrow and then to the Cosmopolitan Cafe for cocktails and some dinner while watching the Baseball on TV. It was a Friday night so the City workers were out partying. Helen walked through an ornamental pool by mistake which we all found very funny.
