It was an extremely busy first day in San Francisco. After checking out what might be a good restaurant in San Francisco, we headed down Powell Street and caught the cable car to Fisherman’s Wharf; this place was absolutely cool! We hung out for as long as we could. Fisherman’s Wharf is very, very touristy and once we got there, we had to purchase jumpers, because it was too cold for us and the wind blew right through what we were wearing. We found San Francisco to be just like it is in all the movies, hilly, very hilly and it is cold even in the summer time. The average temperature here ranges around 20 to 21 degrees. 
 
The Wharf is 3 miles long and goes all the way to the Ferry Building. We had to squeeze our way through the throngs of people here and dodge some whizzing bike riders. We could see Alcatraz Island from the Wharf and count out all the piers, 40. We booked a boat tour to take us around the Bay, and while we were waiting to go on the tour, someone fell into the water! Two firetrucks came and one fire brigade boat and a police boat. They pulled the poor freezing person from the water, and the show was over. The tour around the bay is fantastic, but we were still to cold. Once we got off the tour boat, we went to the ‘Fisherman’s Wharf Taqueira restaurant, it’s the one we read about on the website listed above, man was the food there terrific! We really over ordered, but we couldn’t decide what to eat.
 
After that hefty meal, we decided to Filbert Steps, and up to Colt tower. The walk there was harsh, some parts were steep, very steep. Just what we needed after a huge meal. We then made it to the Ferry Building, and we were tired. We were lucky to catch a cable car going back to our hotel. Man were we beat, cold and happy.
