Time to leave Napa and head down to San Francisco. Perfect weather for top down driving and Dad has by now taken quite a liking to it. We approach the city and the Golden Gate bridge from the North sneaking peak-a-boo views of it along the way and we are very excited about it being such a clear and gorgeous day.
We don't have reservations for visiting Alcatraz (bummer!) but go down to Pier 39 & Fishermen's Wharf anyway. Turns out to be the most crowded place we've been to so far, tourists are just everywhere and we are amazed at what 'stuff' people are willing to buy and pay for.
We manage to have a good time regardless, enjoying the vintage ships in the
San Francisco Maritime Park and the amazing views of Golden Gate & Alcatraz.
The day ends in Palo Alto where we stay in the cozy
Cowper Inn - a 1893 Mansion - and spend time hanging out with my friend Marc Tobias. He tells us about Arnold Schwarzenegger's visit to the Yahoo campus that day and takes us to my favorite American diner (forgot its name...) where we enjoy huge and spicy hamburgers and delicious sundaes.

We were at Peninsula Fountain and Grill. A diner from the 1920s. http://www.citysearch.com/review/920394
