I brought my heart to San Francisco

Just a quick update as we are very tired and I have a small buzz from a few beers at our Sushi dinner tonight. Made it to San Francisco after a wonderful morning in Napa. We did a tour of Rudd Vineyards and it may have been the highlight of the trip. We were lucky enough to have a private tour given to us by Victoria whose enthusiasm and love for vines and vitaculture was palpable. The Rudd estate was quite beautiful and the wines were outstanding. We bought just a few wines as the prices were steep to say the least. It will be a nice surprise however when they arrive in mid-September.
Left Napa and took a nice ride down to San Francisco. Got out before we went over the bridge and walked over the Golden Gate. I must be honest and say it was a bit scary. Lots of wind and traffic noise and it's a longgggg way down. We may go back when it is foggy as we have been told that is a whole 'nother experience. Got to the hotel and immediately took a trolly to the Fisherman's Wharf. Not much to see that we haven't already seen down there but the International Spy Shop was very neat. Waited a long time for the trolly back, got some sushi and hitting the hay early so we can get on the 1st boat to Alcatraz.
Hope to post more pics tomorrow.
