Day 5 - "You're Supposed to Pass on the Left!"

After Eme planned our San Francisco site seeing route the night before we were ready to go Friday morning! We got our Trolley tickets and were off on our first adventure.





After exiting the trolley we walked over to Blazing Saddles and rented 2 bikes and made our way to Golden Gate Bridge. It seemed like a daunting task at first, but after a couple steep hills we were practically at the bridge!











We crossed over, came back and and some interesting encounters with the locals on our way back. Jon even got a free lesson on passing from one runner.


Amongst the touristy things we accomplished was the "Crookedest Street" and the Full House opening scene or some Victorian Homes of San Francisco, if you will.










After a full and rigorous day we settled into our hotel for a relaxing evening and planned for our next morning.

On a side note, Eme and I realized how clean Minneapolis and Chicago are compared to San Francisco. There seemed to be litter and dirty sidewalks everywhere. We certainly gained some robust cultural experiences while exploring SF that I'm not sure one could obtain in any other U.S. city.

That... was day 5.
