Sightseeing - San Francisco
10/9/24
up at 7am to finish this as the Tahiti returns today and we are
seeing it out so will post this on board. We are going down to see
Boy
Charlton off [on his return trip following his
legendary successes at the 1924
Paris Olympics].
Presidio, Golden Gate, Twin Peaks
To return to the story, however on Monday
we made arrangements for our trip onward in the morning
and in the afternoon
went sightseeing in a car
but what a car it was as it held 25 and was beautifully finished and did
40 per hour without one knowing it.
We saw the Presidio (military reserve),
Cliff House [the relatively boring third version, not the
short lived second version],
Seal Rocks,
Golden Gate [before the bridge was built] and
Golden Gate Park
on the Twin Peaks 1200 feet above
sea level from which a great view of Frisco is obtained and then on to
the old Mission Church and thence via Market Street home.
