My biggest dilemma was choosing where to go. I decided for the first day, I would be a real tourist and spend my time at Fisherman's Wharf, which is filled with attractions residents think about going to, but never actually visit. Here was my opportunity. |

Day 1I started off with a Golden Gate Bay Cruise® on the Red and White Fleet. I actually did this before when I was about 9 years old, but I had fond memories of it.

Then, off to the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf. I'd never been to a wax museum before, and I've always been curious. The experience can best be described as surreal: impressive, peculiar, a tad bit cheesy, and educational if you want it to be. Along with the expected celebrities, the museum also features historical and religious tableaus, and reproductions of famous paintings. Would I have spent the money if I didn't have the Go San Francisco Card? Hard to say. Was it worth the time I spent? Absolutely! |

Still in sightseeing mode, I took another tour I've never done: the Gray Line Motorized Cable Car. Narrated by our knowledgeable driver, the tour took us through Pacific Heights, Union Square, Chinatown, and North Beach. The area was familiar to me (we came within a block of my house) but I still learned new facts about Victorian homes, movies filmed in the area, and local baseball legend Joe DiMaggio.Day 2I choose to visit the neighborhood known as SOMA. As a long-time Giants fan, I was excited to see a tour of AT&T Park in the guidebook. It started promptly at 10:30, and I almost missed it my bus' route ended several blocks from the ballpark. Lesson 1: When getting on a San Francisco MUNI bus, be sure to check its final destination. Lesson 2: Whether driving or taking public transportation, give yourself a little extra time, just in case. |
