After taking a break for a few days, John and Juliet offered to take us back out and see more of the city, some of the places typical, some places a bit off the beaten path. John drove in this time and we went ‘all over the map’!

After a quick stop at the Stonestown Farmers Market we went to the Sutro Baths ruins. This historic bathhouse was built in 1894 and was destroyed in a fire in 1966. It was interesting to walk thru some of the old foundation and thru some of the tunnels that used to feed ocean water into the building’s baths.

Another place John and Juliet took us to was a Holocaust Memorial that overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge. We found it simple yet tastefully done.

Next up was Fort Point National Historic Site, a Civil War era fortress. The Golden Gate Bridge was actually built OVER the fort. It’s a really neat and unusual perspective to see the bridge from underneath rather than most views you see from ‘bridge level’ or above!

Now that we’re hungry after all that walking around – on to lunch! One good thing about seeing the sights with San Francisco natives is they know the best places to eat! We stopped at Cha Cha Cha in Haight-Ashbury. A Caribbean restaurant with AMAZING food and the best sangria we’ve ever had!

A must see item in San Francisco is Lombard Street, the “crookedest street in the world”. We not only saw it, we drove down it (well, John did – with us along for the ride)!
