At The Waterfront

Vacation - Day 1 - Here we are in San Francisco at our favorite restaurant, The Waterfront at Pier 9 on the Embarcadero. We discovered this restaurant on a trip to San Francisco with friends in the summer of 1977 and have come for lunch or dinner almost every time we've returned to San Francisco. This is our 5th or 6th time. A wonderful way to start our vacation - great Bloody Marys, sumptuous clam chowder, good seafood of every kind (of course Alan had a hamburger while I splurged on lemon risotto with lobster) and the most amazing view of San Francisco Bay next to the Oakland Bay Bridge.

Great flight, made even better because Polly insisted that I take her Kindle instead of my usual 6 books plus an extra or 2 from the airport bookstore. What am amazing device. I downloaded a book while waiting at the gate and read it while everyone else slept through the 6:30 AM flight. My improving technological skills surprise me, although I suspect that technology is getting easier rather than me getter more adept.

Off to a Giants game tonight. They are playing the Diamondbacks or, according to Alan, the Razorbacks. Hot dogs, pretzels and beer!
