Arrived at Pier 39 just in time to see the seals

Pier 39 is located along the Embarcadero

The seals have taken over a large portion of the pier - the species is protected and can't be forced to move

some boats docked at the wharf

more of the seals - with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background

what's for lunch?

sourdough bread!

and more sourdough bread!

our lunch view was overlooking the water

a shot of Alcatraz from the Wharf area

A shopping area at Pier 39- the seals have made it a tourist mecca with tshirt shops, etc.

deciding whether we want to explore Coit Tower or not...

We drove through the Presidio and found a great spot to view the Golden Gate Bridge.
