Parks & Garden's

We didn't go out until about 11 this morning as we were having an easy day again. First off we went down to the main library which is very large then headed across to city hall. From there we got the 21 bus to Alamo Square, even though they are still carrying out renovation work here you get a view over the city and the famous painted ladies houses. From there we got back on the 21 again for a couple of stops then went into Popeye's chicken shop. We went to one of these in Chicago and wasn't very impressed with it so thought we would give this one a go, I'm glad we did now as the chicken was lovely. We then crossed the road and got the 24 to Alta Park
Alta Park, Pacific Heights
which has to be one of the highest parks in the city and in the Pacific Heights area where the average house price is about $2 million. Next on the list was to get the number 1 bus Huntington Park which is across the road from Grace Cathedral, it was nice to sit in the park and watch the hummingbirds fly round plus I think it was a doggie meet up day as there were lots of people there with dogs. The last time I was in here was on Christmas Day 2013 but it was a bit warmer then as
Huntington Park
there was a chilly breeze blowing today but you are on top of a hill. We were planning on going to the Cable Car Museum but it would have been almost closing time when we would have got there so just got back in the 1 bus down to Kearney Street, I had a look around in Portsmouth Square Plaza but it's a bit of a dump here, I only went in because this use to be the main city Square way back in the 1850s then walked it along there to the Crocker Galleria and got something to eat from Jimmy John's. We were back at the hotel in time for the 6 o'clock news. Both a bit knackered now and Jane's leg has been bad today so we missed out a couple of things on today's list but we are getting through most of the things we wanted to do.
