san fran - day 3 - napa valley





we saved the best for last...a limo tour of napa with stops at cakebread cellars, beaulieu vineyards, and grgich hills. good thing there wasn't time for a forth!

san fran - day 2 - fisherman's wharf






the sounds of seagulls were drowned out by the sea lions.

san fran - day 2 - alcatraz (cont)






a few shots from the inmates' perspective...

san fran - day 2 - alcatraz






alcatraz. it was my third time visiting and i can't wait to go back. something about that place. the views from the island are breathtaking, which no doubt made it that much more devasting to be locked up on 'the rock.'

san fran - day 1 - mission district






that night we checked out the scene over in the mission district. the mexican tradition know as 'el dia de los muertos' or 'day of the dead' celebrates the lives and new beginning of those loved ones who have passed on. andra was brave enough to dance with the scariest (and apparently hungriest too as he bit her finger!) skeleton around. yikes!

san fran - day 1 - yerba gardens





bird watching with gary at the beautiful yerba buena gardens just outside of our hotel. what a relaxing start to our vacation.
