San Francisco - Walking Along the Piers of the City by the Bay When the thought of San Francisco comes to mind, images of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay, Fishermans Wharf, Pier 39, Lombard Street and Cable Cars come to mind. But this city was so much more than just these few locations. While thinking about the song, “I left my Heart in San Francisco”, it became apparent to us why the author felt this way. This city won our hearts over through its unforgettable charm and unique location. Never before did we ever see cloud formations as those over this city or experienced such tolerance and friendliness as we did here. Considering it was July/August, it did seem quite chilly though. One should have a jacket as the winds can be quite strong. The first day was spent at the piers.

A parking tip when visiting the city of San Francisco during the week is to park at the lot close to Fort Mason. It is about a 15 minute walk to the San Francisco Piers and at the same time, costs nothing (during the week). On the weekend, during the week after 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. and on holidays you are required to have a permit to park there. Otherwise, there are other alternative parking lots in the city where you can park for a fee. Also, at the Fort Mason parking lot, you have a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge. That is if it is not a hazy day. We were not so fortunate. We headed towards the piers. It was a nice walk through a park with some steep inclines and declines. Before reaching the piers, we passed an old unused bridge. We did not find a name for it. Warnings advise the pedestrians that this bridge is not in good condition and caution should be used when walking on it. The bridge is worth going on to because it extends out into the bay with a great view of Alcatraz. It seemed to also be a good hangout for fishermen trying to get a catch. From the bridge, you have a wonderful view of the city as well. Continue >>>   Custom Search
