Much to our extreme surprise the San Remo Hotel was easy to find and hard to enter. This hotel built in 1907 was made for small hallways and had no elevator. We dismantled our gear to just get the trailers up the stairs to reception. The staff kindly stores our bikes in the employee coffee room and our gear in the luggage room. Bathrooms and showers are shared by all guests. The room was small but pleasant.
It was a pleasure and joy to meet with Daniel and Emma for lunch on Sunday. We enjoyed Korean Fusion brunch (totally amazing). The best part was getting to know these two again. I have know Daniel since he was born. We learned a lot about young people that work in San Francisco. (I am still trying to upload the photo. It will be added later .)
We attended a Bible Study organized by WEARECHURCH house groups. It was an interesting time to review the theme: romance. We enjoyed meeting the brothers and sisters there. Earlier we spent time in San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf. It is a city of compact houses and hills. The streets smell of dog waste. I was told that there are more dogs per household than children here. Judging by the dogs on the cement streets I believe it. I attemped a selfie while looking for grass for Sophie our first day.
Monday we packed up from San Remo and took the day to explore. It was a French eating day, Croissant at one of the most famous French Bakeries, and lunch at Le Garage in Sausalito. We biked up a lot of hills along the coast and in parks. Our greatest accomplishment was crossing the Golden Gate Bridge on our bikes and taking ferries to get to Oakland. It was LOUD!!! We were astonished by the number of cyclists and walkers making the trek. These same cyclists took the ferry back to San Francisco like ourselves.
