Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 19 - Wandering - June 12, 2015

"Um..."

"Exploring is nice and all, but..."

"...where are we going, exactly? These sidewalks are steep."

"Oh! But at least we are heading downhill!"

"And there are nice sunny places to rest."

"And cool-looking fire escapes too!"

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 17 - Ghirardelli Square - June 12, 2015

"Duffy again! We want to go to Ghirardelli Square. But first, let's look at the toy store near our hotel!"

"TOYS!"

"Now we are just waiting at the intersection. Mmmm Taco Bell/KFC"

"Waiting..."

"Oh! There were advertisements for this restaurant all over the hotel. Let's go look."

"Yes! We had a good meal!"

"And oh hey! This is Ghirardelli Square!"

"You can tell by the sign."

"They sell chocolate AND they have places to live. Can you believe that?!"

"We did some shopping..."

"And not a little relaxing..."

"And some posing!"

"Hello! You can see the water! Which makes sense because we could see this building when we were down by the water."

"hiard...I mean, Ghirardelli!"

"Whoa! Construction! Art!"

"I love the scale!"

"Whoa; what a weird tree."

"Still kind of weird."

"Um...I am not trying to be ungrateful, but...could we maybe have some ice cream now?"

"We ordered but can you please bring our ice cream now?"

"OH! Wow! Yay!!!"

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 15 - Musée Mécanique - June 11, 2015

"Duffy here. The human had read about the Musée Mécanique years ago and was excited to visit! It was not like she expected, though..."

"...it was so much bigger and better! There were SO many amazing machines! My human had a pocket full of quarters, and we felt so rich!"

"This whole display moved if you put in a coin or so! This ride reminded us of the Golden Zephyr!"

"The details were amazing. To think someone must have built all of these things a long time ago...!"

"Oh! My human likes Harold Lloyd!  Let's watch."

"2015 was the 100th anniversary of the 1915 World's Fair. What a great time to visit!"

"Yeehaw!"

"Oh! A cat!"

"See?"

"This guy!  All he did was laugh, I think.....but that made me laugh too!"

"At first I didn't understand why someone would make him, but I guess those old-timey people knew what they were doing."

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 14 - Seagulls and Supper - June 11, 2015

Duffy here. TippyBlue says "Mine, Mine!"

"We had a delicious supper at the Boudin Bakery!"

"So much bread!"

"Friend?" asks TippyBlue.

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 13 - Duffy near Alcatraz?! - June 11, 2015

"Still Duffy. Sailing is so relaxing!"

"Whoa. We are approaching Alcatraz!"

 "I guess Alcatraz should be kind of sad, but it makes me think more of adventure and capers."

"San Francisco! I told you we would be back!"

"This was the Bridge 2 Bridge cruise, I think, so we got to see the Bay Bridge too!"

(The tour actually got kind of weird here, talking in detail about bridges, and it was a bit out of date.  But this was in 2015...maybe it's better now!)

"The sea is beautiful..."

"I am so glad we got to go sailing!"
