Following our very nice performance at the Stanford Invitational I took several members of our team to the San Francisco Bay area for dinner and some site seeing. Our travel schedule did not allow us to return to Salt Lake until Sunday morning. If you "have" to get stuck somewhere while traveling for a meet this is one of those places that you can deal with :)
We drove into downtown San Fran and then over the Golden Gate Bridge and into Sausalito. Suasalito is a small tourist town on the northwest shore of SF Bay. It attracts many different types of activities and people in the summer and fall months. We ate at a nice Bistro right on the water and then did a little shopping in some of the local stores.
When we departed Sausalito it was dark and some fog was rolling in so driving back over the Golden Gate was interesting. From there we drove through Fisherman's Wharf which was full of people and night time activity as usual. Then it was on to Coit Tower on the top of Telegraph Hill. This is the highest point in the Bay area. To see the city at night from that vantage point was pretty amazing. Finally, we drove over to and then down the ever famous winding block on Lombard St. A one block section of this street winds back and forth like a snake and is on a very steep incline. Therefore, you have to drive very slowly and with great caution as the street is also very narrow.
Check out the picks from this trip. The night time picks are at the bottom of Lombard Street.
