And The ADVENTURE Continues...: June 24, 2015 Day in San Francisco

Wednesday, June 24- Day spent in San Francisco

We decided to spend the day in San Francisco. We began the day at Moraga Steps at 16^th Ave. There are 163 steps and the girls walked down the steps while the boys found a parking place. The steps are all tiled and they have a continuous theme from top to bottom. They are just beautiful. It was a neighborhood project which started in 2003 and completed in 2005. It was inspired by the San Teresa in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I thought that there may have been an explanation to the artwork but couldn’t find anything on it. We went by several churches throughout the city. We passed the University of San Francisco that had some great steps in front of it. Our next stop was the Wave Organ. The music is created by the movement of waves in and out of submerged pipes. It is best heard at high tide and a full moon. Unfortunately we were not able to be there at either one of these times but we wanted to see it anyhow. Next stop was a drive down the crookedest road. It was thrilling. We then went up to Coit Tower and had a great view of the city around us. By this time we were all starving so off to lunch we went. We went to Mo’s on Grant Avenue. It was a great 7 oz hamburger. We made a stop at Grace Cathedral. It had one thing inside that I have never seen in a church and that was an Interfaith Memorial Labyrinth. Mike and Jeff walked it. On to the cable cars. You know that we couldn’t visit San Francisco without riding them. We rode them North to South and East to West and visited Chinatown in the process. Our last stop was to pickup Indian food and then home in time to see the sunset. We were exhausted and retired early.
