Walking (City) 4:45:00 [2] 8.91 mi (31:59 / mi) +200m 29:54 / mi
Spent today wandering the north end of San Francisco, where the weather was unsettled to say the least, going from cloudy to showers to rain, with occasional sunny breaks. We walked from our motel on Lombard St out to the marina then past Ft Mason as far as Pier 39, where we had lunch at one of the many fish restaurants, during yet another shower.
Then we headed toward Columbus, climbed up Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower (and actually paid to ride the elevator most of the way up...then 37 steps). Afterwards we heard squawking on the east side so investigated...parrots, a couple dozen of them, were hanging out in the trees there.
Back to Columbus, then down as far as the 300 block or so past City Lights book store where we looked at the murals along Jack Kerouac way/lane.
Rogue has a San Fran brewery nearby so we went there first for a drink before finding a very nice Italian restaurant in the 300 block (Franchino's). Dessert and coffee at Stella's in the 400 block, then Starbucks on Bay and Taylor to surf the web for awhile (because the connection at our motel is attrocious).
Walked back to motel during a non-rainy period--yay!
Forgot to start and stop the watch sometimes, and went inside or near taller buildings, so the track is wonky in places, but distance is probably close enough.
Edit: adjusted time too because some of it was not moving. Changed Fisherman's Wharf to Pier 39...where also saw a couple hundred sea lions resting or playing on the floating docks there.
