PCH Trip Day 5
Woke up to a wonderful morning in San Fransisco, nice, sunny, and not to cold outside. Sis and I took our first cable car ride...which came to a quick end. There was an issue with the cable car in the downtown area which effected the rest of the cars, not really sure why. After walking a few blokes we decided to get a taxi ride over to At&T park so we wouldn't miss our 10:30am stadium tour.
We arrived at AT&T Park with plenty time to walk around the stadium and get some pictures.

After the tour we walked over to Chinatown, killer on my feet.
we continued walking back to our hotel (and dropped off our buys from the Giant store) and had lunch at the ever so yummy Boudin. Both sis and I got the clam chowder bread bowl.
After lunch we stopped by the Maritime museum to tour the ships and on the plus side we did this on free admission day. The first ship that we toured was the ferryboat Eureka which was built in 1890.

Next and last activity of the day was a 6:10pm tour of Alcatraz. Much to my surprise the ferry ride out to the island wasn't that cold. Touring the place was extremely amazing but there was still so much I didn't get to see.
