After a fun time at Giants FanFest, I took advantage of a clear, sunny day in San Francisco. Even to this day, I am always finding new things to do and see in a city in which I have already spent many enjoyable days in my life. To balance out the sports, I took in some culture at the Legion of Honor, then hiked down to the ocean.
For those of you with either a Bank of America debit or credit card, you can get free admission to many museums across the United States. The Legion of Honor is one of those places. You do have to pay a surcharge for some exhibits, but the recent one with Anders Zorn was amazing. His watercolors look just like photographs. It was also fortuitous since I had reservations to PLAJ Restaurant later for some Scandinavian food.
After a long climb down hundreds of stairs, I reached Eagles Point near Lands End. The trails are easily accessible from the Legion of Honor, but be prepared for an intense workout climbing back out. The views are spectacular, especially in the late afternoon sun. You can just barely see the Golden Gate Bridge, but the ocean rocks are the real attraction here. Plus a labyrinth.
This is the new eastern section of the Bay Bridge all lit up at night. You can view it from Treasure Island, which is a lot easier than parking on the bridge itself. It finally opened and is very nice. Driving across is much nicer than the old version and will be a lot safer during the next earthquake. Please enjoy the rest of my pictures below.
