San Francisco



After our late night swim in the North Atlantic Ocean, we got a few hours of sleep then went to the airport. After 7 hours of flying time and a one hour layover, we arrived at San Francisco Airport at 11:04 AM. We hopped on the Bay Area Rapid Transit and found our way to the house where we are staying on Lucky Street. Although we did not actually know any of the people we were staying with, they have been more than hospitable and helped us with our first task at hand - jumping in the Pacific Ocean. We took a streetcar to Aquatic Beach and went for a swim, achieving our goal of jumping in the Atlantic and the Pacific in the same day. We stayed to watch sailboat races, seals and a thick fog rolling over the bridge. We then bussed and walked around town, including a walk through Golden Gate Park and a quick visit to Haight and Ashbury. The house where we are staying is in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood, so we happened to have had Mexican food for lunch and dinner today. More San Francisco stories tomorrow.
Total Flying Time: 10 Hours 45 Minutes
