Cali Fun, part 4 - San Fran at Night

We went on a whirlwind tour of San Francisco with our friend Katlyn, who is a local.  She showed us all the sights to be seen.  We started out looking for a parking spot so we could have dinner.  But some how we found ourselves up at Coit Tower at the top of one of the many hills in San Fran.  So we decided to tour it while we were there.

The Coit Tower was built in 1933 by Lillian Coit who was
a really rich lady that loved to chase fires with the firemen ,
so she built a tower in honor of them.  True Story.

Inside the building there are many frescoes depicting life in San Francisco
in the 1930's.  I liked the orange farming painting.

After our visit to Coit Tower we were able to find parking near this cute little Thai place that we went to for dinner.  It was delicious.  In all the curry excitement, no pictures were taken.  However, I did take a picture of the bomb squad, who had closed off the street across from the restaurant.

The rest of the population in the area and ourselves were probably not the smartest
to be walking towards the bomb squad to get a better picture instead of
perhaps running away, oh well.

We then took a jaunt down to some of the tourists sights.  Our first stop was at Pier 39. We then walked   over to Fisherman's Wharf, which was a cool area.  No, we didn't buy any fish there.

San Francisco sourdough bread in the shape of sea creatures!  This made
me so happy.

We then went to visit the chocolate Mecca, Ghirardelli's Square.  They don't make chocolate there anymore, but they sure sell a lot of it.  We decided to indulge and get ice cream sundaes at the cafe section of the shop.  Oh my heavens we had a major sugar overload.  My body could only handle so much sweet richness.

So many options

I chose the sundae with a cookies at the bottom.
Mouth watering.

Katlyn and Heidi all ready to dig in.

At the time, it seemed like a good idea.

30 minutes later...You win ice cream, you win.

This is what a sugar overload looks like.

And I think we're done here.
