Then we took them
to SF local hidden gem, Swan's Oyster Depot ( comments)
|
Which was delicious.
( comments)
|
And it was joyous.

|
Then we travelled to
the only worth SF tourist trap, Alcatraz. ( comments)

On the boat.

We took one of the tours,
which was actually quite good. ( comments)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And the guide led us somewhere
I haven't been before on Alcatraz, which is surprising, since I've seen most of it. ( comments)
|
Mel gets into trouble.
( comments)
|
Walking along the path,
more or less. ( comments)
|
Dave ponders
the terrifying reality of incarceration ( comments)

The alcatraz crew
prepares to return to the mainland. ( comments)
|
And off to ridiculous Chinatown!
(for some tasty bubble tea) ( comments)
|
Then I take Mel and Jon on scooters
to check out the Haight. ( comments)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And we terrorize the citizens.
( comments)
|
Mel and Jon
head back to Chinatown, we weren't with them, but this is a great photo. ( comments)
|
The reason we were l..y enough to see Mel,
Jon had a presentation on astro stuff. ( comments)
|
Then I take Mel
to the Japanese Tea Garden ( comments)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And we get tea!
( comments)
|
And tattoos
(thanks to Japanese bubble gum) ( comments)
|
And we find buddha.
( comments)
|
And hide in the bamboo
( comments)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then to Stow Lake.
( comments)
|
To attack the waterfall!
( comments)
|
Then Mel and I
went to Muir Woods. ( comments)
|
And found Mel
hiding in a tree. ( comments)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So we ran through the forest
at a blinding 200 mph. ( comments)
|
It was a dangerous hike.
No strollers allowed. ( comments)
|
A tree was in our path,
so I knocked it over. ( comments)
|
And we got lost..
( comments)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And we ran out of food...
( comments)
|
But Mel found the tree
that gave birth to her. ( comments)
|
And it showed us the way out.
Look! The ocean! And the corner of San Francisco! ( comments)
|
We then found Muir Beach,
and decided to swim home. ( comments)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But strange beach animals
warned us of the dangerous currents. ( comments)
|
Mel prepares herself for a watery death.
( comments)
|
But we walk back to the car instead.
