San Francisco Scenes--Our Last Day

San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities we have seen, but it has it's not-so-pretty parts, too...Quite a few homeless people at Maritime Plaza across from the ferry terminal....laying under blankets right there at the park...all their worldly possessions with them....very sad.....

There's an interesting fountain at the Maritime Plaza....
Goodbye to all the beautiful street cars and cable cars.....there's a little free museum dedicated to preserving information about all these antique streetcars still in use...right at Maritime Plaza....The Fisherman's Wharf (the "F" line and Market Street) are the most popular historic streetcar line in America....
The "Milan" car was beautiful...lots of wood on it.....It dates back to 1928 and looks very similar to this beautiful orange streetcar.....Many of the cars date from the 1940's...they are so cool! Each car has its history printed in a central location inside the car for you to read.
And one more.....
Tomorrow we leave for Trinidad, CA, on the Pacific Coast off Highway 101...The RV park is called Sounds of the Sea..It's near Eureka, CA and the redwood forests, AND  Big Foot country!  It's a little pricey, (45.00 a day) however, pay for six days and get one free, so we are hoping for an ocean view for a few days and it's close to many attractions....Sometimes that makes up for not having to drive so far to see things by paying a little more to stay in a park, but we'll see.....for now, it's bye-bye San Francisco...

  1. Glad you enjoyed San Francisco. I live a bit south of the city in the Santa Cruz Mountains above Santa Cruz.

    It has been interesting to see the city thru your eyes.

  2. Love all the street car pictures. That averages out to under $40.00 a day. Not too bad, and your close to exporing things.
