We returned our rental car a few miles away near the Amtrak station where we arrived on Wednesday. We then hopped on the free Emeryville Go Round shuttle which took us to the BART station (Bay Area Rail Transit). That took us quickly into the city where we got off at a station near the bus line which took us out to our apartment. We dropped off our things, had a few light snacks, and then headed to Golden Gate Park just a couple blocks away. The two pictures of Bob were taken in the park. It is quite amazing. It is HUGE. It is so hard to believe there is such an immense green space right in the middle of the bustling city. We just got a short taste of it today until our walking legs gave out on us.
We headed back to our apartment and stopped at a small market on the way to buy a few things for supper. Only problem was that it was in the Greek neighborhood, so we had no idea what most of the things were. We settled for some ramen noodles and bread. Stopped at the nearby Chinese take out place for egg rolls. We topped it off with some wine and aged goat cheese we had purchased in Napa. Not too shabby.
We are now starting to droop. Since it isn't even 9:00 yet, we are trying to keep our eyes open, but not having much luck. May just cash it in soon.
Our plan for tomorrow isn't firm yet. Lots of possibilities, including venturing over to the Bay to take in the America's Cup sailing race. We thought it would be done already by this time, but apparently the US is making a contest of it. We also plan to head back to Golden Gate Park to take in the de Young art museum and Japanese tea garden. We have also talked about walking across the Golden Gate Bridge and then taking the ferry back. Isn't traveling wonderful??
Good night to all. We can't wait to let you know of our adventures.

Great adventure. Looks like you are having a wonderful time. Too bad the Packers lost, but the Badgers won. Have fun exploring. Can't wait to hear all about your day too.
