This morning we took our first of many cable car rides, on the Powell-Mason line. We rode it from one end on Market Street to the other right by Fisherman's Wharf. The first stop was buying a jacket (yes, that's right, a jacket in California in August). We had read that it got cold in San Francisco because of the cold air blowing in from the bay, but we were unprepared for how cold "cold" was. Our touring the day before, particularly walking on streets at the top of hills and riding on the open second floor of a double-decker bus, convinced us that we most definitely needed heavier clothes than we had packed with us. Our first purchase was a nice jacket for $17, but we were somewhat unhappy with the San Francisco logo on it. A little more looking around, and I found the nicest leather jacket. It was only $20, and it's much better than the jackets I have at home that have cost $50-$60. Tourist trap, my butt.
We walked around Pier 39, saw the sea lions on the dock (amazing sight!) and had a really nice lunch at Chic's, with an outstanding view of the bay. We toured the city further, and had dinner at Lori's Diner.
