San Francisco - Day 3

Our first day in San Francisco! We did a lot of walking. Walked every where. We started from the hotel & walked through China town eventually making it down to the Warf. By far the best China town I have been to. I bought a nice hand painted cherry blossoms painting.

(the flies were loving the fish... blech!)
From there we saw the crookedest street in the world - Lombard Street. Later on in the week we actually drove it.
That was on our way to Coit Tower. Are your legs tired yet?! If not, they will be after you are done pushing a double stroller up a hill!
While up there we discovered the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill. When we first got up there I thought I heard a parrot. After we checked out the tower we took a rest under some trees so I could feed J. A group of ladies came by to check out the birds. Turns out there are over 200 wild parrots in the trees. There is even a movie about them! It all started with a few parrots that got lose & soon they multiplied.
We continued on to the warf where we had a quick bite to eat & then got on a tour to Alcatraz. Took a lot of pictures there, too. After the tour we walked the warf. There is an area where the sea lions sun bath. Massive amounts of sea lions.
Instead of walking back to the hotel after dinner we took the trolley. That had to be R's favorite part of the trip. On the way to the trolley stop L had a run in with a parrot. L-1, parrot-0. I think the owner learned a valuable lesson that evening. Never shove a bird in a kids face. She gave fare warning that she wanted nothing to do with the parrot.
