More San Fran Days and Doings...

Last night we got our feet wet for Ireland with a rather extensive pint session at an Irish pub... met many a people (largely Irish, english and one cop from New Jersey - yes Jane, I talked Law & Order with him and they do help out the NYPD!)

Lunch and a bay cruise at Fisherman's Wharf

Crookedest street, cable car trip, Trans America Building, bit of a shop... dinner in Little Italy.

San Fran such a great city - so many people from different parts of the world - as the folk at Dreamworld say: so many worlds in one.

Some tid bits I learnt today:

1. Oakland is only 8 miles from San Fran
2. About ditto for Berkley (starting to get my Californian city bearings!)
3. There are painters constantly painting the Golden Gate Bridge, nets hang from the bottom and they paint one way, and when they finish they turn right around and start painting all over again.
4. Angel Island on the bay was used as a cruel prison-like holding and interegation bay for Chinese people immigrationg to San Fran.
5. San Fran is a completely walkable city - big but so small in area nowhere is too far from where you are. Once again, great for the calves.

Updates daily stay tuned. Oh and San Fran Yum Cha (or as they call it here: Dim Sum) is only hours away in this the largest China Town in Americal. PS source of that fact from pub last night so apologies in advance if that is not true and accurate (!)
