Hi there, My first free day in S/F was spent at Fisherman's Wharf. I visited the famous Pier 39 and enjoyed eating a huge prawn sandwich at the 'Bubba Gump' cafe. I also paid a visit to the Seals who were barking and basking in the sun. They were huge. I'm trying to get a boat ride to Alcatraz, however it's proofing to be more difficult than I thought. The boat tours are exceptionally busy. The next availble time I can visit the island is in 4-5 days. I don't think I want to be in the city that long. I'm missing the mountains...... Still, I walked around China-Town which was interesting, there's two parts of it. One catering for the tourists and one for the chinese community. I trying to find a place to download my pictures. I have free use of the internet facilities at my hostel and at the library, but they don't have the facilities to download. So you will all have to wait a little longer. Hope you are all keeping well. Love Annie. X
