San Francisco Bay Area

Stanley arrived in San Francisco at night and the lights were beautiful! He crossed over the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County where he would be staying.

The next day, Thursday February 7th, he rested.

On Friday the 8th, he took the Golden Gate Transit Bus back across the bridge into the City of San Francisco.

He got off the bus on Van Ness Avenue. He walked in the thick fog (brrrr.... not much warmer than Jamaica Plain!) to the shore of the San Francisco Bay. There he found Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square.

Ghirardelli is the famous chocolate maker. They have a Chocolate Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop in Ghiradelli Square. There he ate a Hot Fudge Sundae for energy and drank a mug of hot chocolate to warm him up! The he started walking again.

He continued walking along the shore, all the way down under the Bay Bridge (the bridge goes to the East Bay: places like Berkeley and Oakland) until he got to the new baseball stadium. This is where the San Francisco Giants play! Too bad it was February and there was no game to see or balls to catch coming over the wall!

After a long day and a lot of walking, Stanley was tired! He took the Ferry from Terminal at the end of Market Street back to Marin County.

The Ferry passes Alcatraz Island, Sausalito and Tiburon landing in Larkspur.

After a delicious dinner of Mexican food, he slept very well!
