San Francisco day 2

My roommates decided to take Ryan's advice and rent a bike and travel over the Golden Gate Bridge.  It seemed like a logical idea after all of the food last night at the Tiki Bar.  I am ready for my adventure but might see that I don't have a helmet.  Another demerit for my roommates on their mid-year evaluation.

Along the route we came across some cool looking boats.  My roommates mentioned that we would be taking a ferry back from Sausolito on the other end of the bay.  I wonder if it's going to be fast and sleek like this ferry or

older and more rustic like this boat?

Along the route you could turn around and look at the city.  Even though it was a little cloudy you could still see a good view of the skyline. 

Before we get too far along the route I better see if anyone needs a coffee break.  There was a place that overlooked the harbor which had coffee and donuts.  This donut is the Droopy Special it has maple and bacon which I guess would make a certain dog happy.  

Along the way we stopped at Fort Point which is right under the Golden Gate Bridge.  It was an old fort that protected the harbor from invaders.  The whole fort was open and one could explore it fully in an afternoon. 

Right inside the fort.

They built the bridge right over the fort many years ago. 

On the top of the fort looking outward.

Once I crossed the bridge it's all downhill from there. Lunch in Sausolito then a little time to explore before we head back on the ferry.

As you can see I got a prime seat on the ferry.  It's right next to the snack bar and some big windows. 

 The captain earned an A+ on docking.  Little did they know I was watching from my seat making sure we weren't going to hit the dock or any unsuspecting tourists.

Definitely an action packed day.  Perhaps my roommates want to celebrate the nice day with a big cup of hot chocolate, I hear this Ghiradelli place sells some good hot chocolate.
