If you're going to San Francisco......

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...

Our very first purchase in San Francisco.  Naturally T-Mobile.  One payment, unlimited internet and free phone calls and texts.  Also free international phone calls to any land-line.  Fantastic service.  PS Doesn't the guy look like a wax figure?  Is Justine happy?  Oh yes she is... unlimited internet....  Must I say more. 

Justine with one of the many hearts found around Union Square.  I love hearts, so I really liked San Francisco.  I was going to wear flowers in my hair until I saw someone doing it.  It wasn't as cool as it seemed in my head.  Although I am sure if I had been there in 1967, I would have worn flowers in my hair, I would have sung songs about peace and love, I would have lived in a commune.  Instead I became a punk-rocker with flowers in my hair, wore pink converse and tight pants with florescent T-shirts and sweaters that hung off my shoulder.  I shaved the side of my head and bleached it blond.  Ahhh the 1980's.

Leaving my heart in San Francisco. 

The Painted Ladies behind Justine.  San Franciscan Victorian homes. 

A fantastic tour.  If you are a movie freak like Justine, you will love this tour.  I loved it.   We were shown and recognized so many places from many movies we have seen.  I would recommend this tour to anyone.  

 On the way to Pier 33 1/2.

 An old merry-go-round at Fisherman's Wharf.

 Lunch at a sports bar.  Pretty cool.

One of the hundreds of trams in Frisco.  They have a collection of them from countries all over the world.

 

 City Hall

 The Golden Gate Bridge from the Military Fort at the base of the bridge.

 Hopper's hands.  Since there were no other signs to be seen I am assuming that these belong to Dennis Hopper and his dog, whose paws can be seen at the bottom of the bottom photo.

 Justine on the top of the fort this time.

THE FAMOUS CASTRO AREA

This was made famous during the Stonewall uprising.  Also this is where Harvey Milk fought for gay rights.
