San Fran Recap Day 2

After our morning trip to Starbucks we headed to the pier to catch our ferry to Alcatraz. Ryan has been too many times to count, but she was such a good sport about going yet again (her second trip in less than a week actually since she'd been with her brother just a few days before). Our reason for booking our Alcatraz tour when we did was so that we'd be on the island for the America's Cup timed trials. Of course, the trials ended up being cancelled due to weather conditions. We did get to see a boat parade, though, and the America's Cup Village from the water.

This was Keith's first trip to Alcatraz and he was pretty impressed with the tour. If we make it back to San Francisco I definitely want to do the night tour where they open up the hospital. Sounds so creepy! 

After Alcatraz we went by Pier 39 to see the sea lions. Turns out (as Ryan warned us) the sea lions have all migrated south except for this one guy.

We also stopped by Fisherman's Wharf and had a late lunch at Boudin .

The Boudin demonstration bakery and museum was just down the street.

We hadn't planned on stopping at the museum, but we decided we could spare $2 and half an hour or so. It was well worth it. There were boards on the history of Boudin, history of San Francisco, San Francisco food originals, and how some famous San Francisco landmarks got their names. We also took quizzes on what kind of bread we are (I'm a French Long, Keith is a French Baguette and Ryan is Rye- I think).

We also got to see the baker in action.

We strolled past the beach and through Fort Mason to the Off the Grid Food Truck Festival.

We grabbed dessert at Off the Grid before dinner at Tacolicious. Oh my yummy! Loved that crème brulee and the tuna tostadas. Perfect end to another fun day!
