San Francisco

Millissa had a chance to spend 4 days in San Francisco with 7 of her friends. (can't imagine what that was like) They staid at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in Union Square located in downtown San Francisco. They spent their time site seeing, riding cable cars, seeing Wicked where something with sequins had to be worn, Alcatraz, fisherman's warf, the cable car museum, Chinatown, Coit tower and Haight and Ashbury.

Photos are better than me typing so enjoy.


The street where Sir Francis Drake hotel was on. Union Street


Where we saw Wicked.




Sears Fine Food. Where we ate breakfast. If you did not get there early, there was a line that would wrap around the building. Famous for their small pancakes.

Cool buildings...

Sealions usually cover the docks. They went away for some reason, but are returning.


Bucket of donuts on Pier 39.


The Rock, from the ferry.
