Unique Thanksgiving in San Francisco

Woke late to a bright, sunny day in San Francisco.
Not really having a plan, we jumped in the vehicle to see what we could see.
Drove through China Town and then followed the trolley rails to a place we could ride.
Parked and walked two blocks to a main start/end for the trolley Market & Powell.  Took that to the turnaround spot at Fisherman's Wharf - how cool is that.  The temp is only about 58, but the sunshine was very warming.
Walked around the wharf passed guys cracking huge crabs and selling off their carts both hot and cold fish "stuff."  It was crowded in that area so we beat it over to bayside and found a good restaurant-bakery called Boudin, I think.  I think they may be famous for their sourdough bread, which was excellent.  We ate upstairs in the restaurant with a great table right next to the window looking out over the bay, over the tourist boats coming and going, and had a perfect view of Alcatraz.  Lunch was grilled salmon sandwich for Peter and crab cake with avocado sandwich for me.  We agreed both were excellent and there was no room for dessert.
Peter thinks he has gained weight on this trip, but I'm hoping that all of the fish has kept us from gaining.

Walked over to the railside on the bay and saw several boats, sailboats and ferry boats out on the water , and we saw a historical submarine and naval ship parked to tour, but we didn't - been there, done that and didn't want to waste the sunshine.

Rode the trolley back to our starting point which only took about 15 min.  It was an experience we did not expect and was pretty darn neat.  I don't think we could have been in downtown San Fran on a better day because there was not much traffic and it was easy to traverse the streets.  We drove over to the famous 60's-70's neighborhood for hippies and flower children at Haight-Ashbury.  Still have many shops alluding to that era.  And then Peter wanted to go to the Cow Palace, so we found it on the map and headed over there.
There was nothing going on so we only saw a HUGE building and took a pic of the sign "Cow Palace."

Now we are back in our room which is luxurious and comfy.  We may or may not eat dinner because we ared still both stuffed from lunch.  There's a McD's right across the street so we may just grab fries and a milkshake for dinner - ha ha ha - not the usual Thanksgiving Dinner, but there has been nothing about this day that reminds me of Thanksgiving except hearing the voices of our family via phone.  Sounds like we missed a good one back home with the great food and snow and all.  We'll see you all real soon.
Love and hugs,
