Our November in San Francisco

November was a fun month for us. We got to head out onto the Bay twice, we got down to China Town for Thanksgiving and we were surprised by the USC band when we were down in Union Square. Work has been good for both of us and the weather has been fantastic.

Now pictures!

We went down to Hyde Street Pier again but this time we got to sail on the Alma. The Alma is a 4 mast Schooner that you can book. For a small fee you can sail The Bay for 3 and a half hours (which is half an hour more than the Gilligan's Isle crew got). Here is a shot of Donna raising the sails.


Here the sails are almost up. I was lying on the deck while Donna did all the hard work.

The last sail going up

Land Ho!!!

Here is a cool boxing game at the Arcade Museum

We got to watch the USC band play in Union Square

I love college bands!

Another shot of the band

Here is a cool looking Obama poster placing in The City

I took some night photos and caught this cyclist

Fresh fruit in China Town

We bought our Thanksgiving turkey in China Town on Thanksgiving morning

That's our turkey being cut in half. It was CHEAP! Only 10 bucks for half a turkey

This is how you do Thanksgiving Dinner in a small apartment in San Francisco

This appears to be the most dangerous foliage in The City

I liked this shot of the Powell St. Cable Car

We got to take a night tour of Alcatraz. We arrived at Sun Set

Another shot on the way in

A water tower on the shady side of The Rock

These cells might be bigger than our apartment

Cool natural light

Donna and I took the audio tour

They open up the Hospital Ward on the night tour

The Hospital Ward has creepy artifacts

and creepy lighting

Our self portrait on Alcatraz Island

Well Donna and I are off to Florida for 10 days so I will have some Disney World pictures for you next time.


BTW sorry the photos are so small. Something changed with Blogger and when I post them normal size (the size I used to) they aren't displaying properly. If anyone knows how to fix this issue let me know.


Thanks for stopping by,

Jon and Donna
