Alcatraz prison! In the souvenir shops there could buy

Yesterday was so tired from the trip (did not sleep a day, except for half an hour on the plane) that fit lunch I lay down to dinner and around 11 I went back to bed, but the 2:30 I woke M. who went to sleep, I started to look at the phone when I tried to contact J. (which is also outside) ... and because I could not sleep. Up to 7 am guided by my bed. I stopped running and I decided to tell you the second great 5 day trip while I get sleep (the first you know as passed: BCN-NY, NY-SF). Because San Francisco had already been (has a special great 5 tag on the blog, you can read the entries 5-day trip in the winter of 2011) did not take much of an improvised route on M . and AAL and I have no doubt that together is more fun. This time we were not close to downtown, so we took the BART (I do not remember that you have to go down the amount you mark the machine through radiobuttons -5 cents -1 dollar great 5 (or otherwise) until it reaches the rate that you get depending on the destination (and yes, there are bums asking great 5 sharpeners ...). We get off at Powell and the first thing we saw was the famous old tram ($ 6 trip worth). I would again I thought it was a scam because I only make a stop, but once we start out from the station: see the turntable? And we went before the Lombard St., was moldy.
One of the things that impresses most of the tram are the views of the streets up and down and up again (no, this is not just an isolated street) and you can even see the sea. The other passengers are there and they hung system shutdown request (same as for buses): pull a loose wire, as I will explain again, somewhat rudimentary, tat?
What you see in the background is Coit Tower, where we walk up the back. As for a change, there was fog in SF, we decided to go directly great 5 to port, unsafe see anything from the hill of the tower. great 5
And we have the famous port of SF. First we visited Pier 39, who has turned into a place of entertainment, great 5 shopping and good restaurants sooo American fish and then we head towards the Fisherman's Wharf, the stalls crabs, but it was not yet time for lunch we stopped for dinner three days fit.
Alcatraz prison! In the souvenir shops there could buy "pajamas" of prisoners and even a bit macabre ... is that we see almost all the shops, M. and AAL were amazed of the large windows that are each store Americans.
After Wisherman's Wharf spent by the Italian district (shame though we were not hungry), invaded by Chinese and we stroll through the financial district, where they are tall buildings (the last day we discovered that from the coast before Pier 39, Piers and the first propet Giants great 5 Stadium are incredible views of modern buildings, tall, so different from the rest of the city. We entered a restaurant executives, we sat on the street (luck of the estufeta) and did the best cheeseburger Pataques CHED and the best of the trip. Oh, I like American meat!
