We Move closer to the dock.

We have taken several cruises on these big ships. And it never

10:35 AM ~ The Bay Bridge skims across the center of the picture while we look at piers and the San Francisco skyline. These were the highlights of our spectacular entry into San Francisco Harbor. Our next pictures will be of the Embarkadero along the San Francisco shoreline and some other streets and we will stop at a visitor center at the north terminus of the Golden Gate Bridge.
