Wednesday September 17 my son and I flew down two San Francisco for the day. The mission was to go to get some Ghirardelli chocolate for my wife. We had a nice flight down on Alaska Airlines arriving at 8:30 in the morning. Now off to get to San Francisco from the airport (SFO) is easy it cost $10.70 round trip on BART (Bay Area Rapid Transportation) get off at the Powell station. That leaves you at one end of the Cable Car route with the cost of $5.00 per ride or $11.00 all day. At the other end of the Cable Car route you end up either at Ghirardelli Square or Fishermans Wharf. A clam chowder Lunch at Fishermans Wharf then went over to Musee Mecanique a museum of old coin operated items. Took a walk down to Ghirardelli Square and scored the chocolate for my wife. My brother that lives in Fremont came down for a while. Time to head back to Seattle taking the Cable Car to Powell Street hopping on the Bart to the Airport (SFO) and finally Alaska Airlines to get home from San Francisco. Next up who knows what next week will bring.
