We began our day with a cable car ride along Hyde and Powell which was really fun given our car actually broke down and we had to stop near the cable car museum for the men to come out and replace the entire crank shaft that connects to the cable. It was really interesting to watch them replace it.
We spent today walking around the city looking at a beautiful cathedral, The Cable Car museum, Chinatown (including the most amazing Dim Sum - 3 pork buns, 12 dumplings, noodles and bread sticks for $12.70), and then a hike up to Coit Tower. Unfortunately the lift at the tower was broken so we didn't get to go up to the top.
Back to our hotel - into the car and a drive to see the Painted Lady houses near Alamo Square and then finally to see Yoda at the Presidio. Ian has just returned from picking up our washing from the wonderful laundromat - all beautifully washed and folded.
We are all well - Han's foot is doing great. He is back to tricking and appears to have no pain anymore. The hardest thing so far is sharing a room and getting Han to spend less than 30 minutes in the bathroom! Hope Handsome and Shadow are doing ok- we miss them both.
Well despite your legs, walking is the best way to see a place and the folded washing photo is impressive! (Best laundry Ian has done?)We rearranged the house today to fit the red couch from Graham and Mary - it looks ery impressive Lisa and Tim will be livng in style.

Hi Jacqui - very pretty little houses all in a row. San Fran looks like fun! Enjoy the next bit. We are just off on a weeks holiday too - making the most of the Vic school hols. Safe travels! Michelle
ReplyDeleteWhich house was Mrs Doubtfire's?
ReplyDeleteHey Jacqui. I'm all blogged now. Great to catccup with your news. Now I need how to figure out getting internet at the Cape for the next week so we can follow your adventures. Wet here today, but still Springy warm. We certainly need the rain for the garden. Looking colder and wet for the Grand Final. Conditions may favour the Swans a bit and negate Hawks kicking. No doubt Ian will find a way to keep in touch with the scores, if not the live video. Have fun and continue to enjoy your big family holiday. PS Loved the piccies of Han kicking the bottle off Clay's head on the beach. Be careful. The American Talent Scouts may spot Han and want to recruit him into some American Martial Arts thing. Love from Uncle Mal in Malbourne
