What a day of celebration! Our son, Will, has come from China to RV travel with us for 2 weeks down the California coast & beyond!!! We picked him up at the San Francisco International Airport this morning and spent the day discovering San Francisco after parking Thumper at Pier 43 at Fisherman’s Wharf. We walked for miles exploring, eating fish, shrimp, clams, & Ghirardelli chocolate. We walked by Lombard Street (famous for having a steep, one-block section that consists of eight tight hairpin turns), Knob Hill, Chinatown, Little Italy, & the street cars. We toured Hyde Street Pier, part of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, where various historical ships are anchored to the pier. Among the ships on display is the Balclutha, an 1886 square rigged sailing ship. We returned to Pacifica to our San Francisco RV home, got a Mexican dinner and settled in for the night. Today, we had a blast, m, b, w & t

Playing till too dark to see,
As their fathers watched them once,
As my father once watched me.”– Edmund Blunden
