April 23, 2014 Walking the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California

One thing we wanted to do while in San Francisco was walk across the Golden Gate Bridge.  I did some research and found out where we could park.  Even though the day was beautiful and sunny, knowing how the weather in San Francisco is windy and the fog rolls in quickly and the temperature drops in a matter of minutes, we bundled up in layers including hats and scarfs and headed to the bridge.  There was a very nice visitors center and paid parking lot at the south end of the bridge.  Many people walk or ride their bikes across and there is a nice wide walkway which walkers and bikers share.  As it turned out it really wasn’t that cold and the views were beautifulIMG_0025 IMG_0026 IMG_0037 IMG_0033including a view of Alcatraz.  IMG_0040We saw surfers in the water belowIMG_0027 and watched a helicopter fly under the bridge.
