Went to San Francisco for a quick visit to my sister, who was there on business and expensing her hotel. It was a Thursday thrugh Sunday vacation that included a side excursion to Napa Valley. |
 |
The hotel was downtown in the financial district. Early next morning was greeted with a view of iconic TransAmerica building. |
 |
 |
She had to work the Thursday and Friday while I was there, so I was left largely on my own to amuse myself. Walked the couple of blocks to the dock area, and caught the Bay Bridge. |

Took the cable car up to Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood. Fell into all the usual tourist trap things, like the wax museum that had, among other things, this Last Supper. |
 |
Out in the water, that’s Alcatraz. Meanwhile, back on the mainland, sea-lions bask in the sun. |
 |
 |
Finally, on Saturday, we headed to wine country Napa Valley. This is a view from Sterling winery. |
 |
The Beringer house that can be seen some Beringer wine bottles at your local boozerporium bodega. |
 |
This is part of the Coppola-Niebaum winery. |
| On the red-eye, at dawn, I returned home. |
