Day 8

I've been typing these in the morning instead of at night, different travel routine when visiting vs when on the road. So its Day 9 now, but delayed post again.

Today we went for breakfest in the marina district, then keith did some needed shopping. After we went and saw the sea lions at pier 39. They are noisy and big, and mostly just sit around barking but worth seeing if you are here.

After we took a bus up the hill (since I now have a clipper card for getting around) to Coit tower. You pay 5 bucks and can take the elevator to the top to get some good vistas around the city. We walked back down telegraph hill towards Keith's previous location when he first moved here. We had what is supposedly the best pizza in the city, but is actually still bested by McMullans in Waterloo.
