Jim at Pier 39 in San Francisco
Somehow this picture got to be actually interesting while it wasn't planned that way. The background is nice and fuzzy while Melissa's dad can be seen crisply while he is enjoying his ice cream. |

Cable Car in San Francisco
The first part of the cable car ride was all uphill. Here the driver of the cable car filles the sand box. The sand is needed for breadking as the second half of our trip goes some steep hills down. The cable car ride is defiently something one has to do, and the best place is to hang on the outside of the car at the front like Melissa is doing here in her yellow jacket. |

Alcatraz
One of the biggest attractions in San Francisco is of course Alcatraz. So we like thousands of other turists toured the island and prison. |
