I've written about the Americas Cup in earlier posts, but it really was an amazing event to be part of. Mum made 2 trips into the city, and she caught plenty of sailing action. Mum even saw the final race where Team USA snatched victory from the Kiwi's.
The city also turned on some brilliant spring weather, and the famous fog was no where to be found. The pictures below are taken from the car - driving down the 'crookedest street in the world', and across the Golden Gate Bridge.
With the kids in school, Mum and I ventured into the city to ride the famous cable cars (Cameron didn't know what we were getting up to). Getting on a cable car is quite a process - but thanks to some friendly advice from a local we bypassed the very long queue and walked up the street to the next stop. Now when I say friendly advice from a local - picture a homeless person with great initiative and communication skills, who for the price of a dollar bill passes on this pearler of advice to anyone who will stop for a chat.
