We never would have imagined that the America's Cup sailing race would still be going on when we reached San Francisco. New Zealand had such a big lead, that everyone thought it would be over last week. Well, the Oracle has won 7 races in a row! It was a thrill to see it yesterday, and amazingly, we got to see two races again today as we toured Alcatraz. In the picture at the right, you can see just how close they came to the short of the island. It would have been cool just to see the race, but it was way cool to see the Oracle win again...both races! The whole shebang is now tied at 8. The final is supposed to be tomorrow. Hmmmm, wonder where we will be.

| After we finished our Alcatraz tour we headed to Pier 39, one of the most famous on Fisherman's Wharf. People, shops, sea lions, and some pretty darn good shrimp and crab chowder! |
 |
| We returned to our apartment and had a quick supper. Then hopped on the local bus to head to the area called Land's End. As you can see above, we made it just as the sun set. The waves were crashing on the rocks below us. The beauty and the power of the ocean are always amazing. |

We are now settled back in for the evening and it is time for our tea. It was another great day on the Bay.
Hugs,
Bob and Debbie |
