Our first full day in San Francisco, with the family to a nearby Chinese-American Restaurant for breakfast.
Then taking the cable car around San Francisco but also walking along to Pier 39 to see our favourite sea-lions who are still "hauling-out" on the pier K pontoons having started this habit in 1989.
Some time looking at books and computers but opting against spending at the current unfavourable exchange rate.
Still waking up later each day - 5.00am today - and then out with the family to a nearby Chinese-American Restaurant for breakfast. We hurried back to meet another B.A. rep on our return but, although he was pleasant and helpful enough and gave us a couple of free trip vouchers, we did not learn very much from him about San Francisco. We then called Daniel and found him all right but needing advice on how to cope with Sam in the wet as he was sitting around and whining all the time.

It must therefore have been raining in England. We took the cable car around San Francisco today but also walked along to Pier 39 to see our favourite sea-lions who are still "hauling-out" on the pier K pontoons having started this habit in 1989 so as to remain a valuable tourist attraction. I took a tour of the Union Square area later, changed £400 at a rate of $1.42 per pound and then looked at lap-top micros and books. I found the best price on a new T.I. colour portable but hesitated about buying one and taking it home.
I found no books or ornaments on German Shorthaired Pointers and, in any case, prices seemed so high as the pound sterling had deteriorated so much. The day ended with heavy rain, but Di and I still walked out and ate an evening meal before retiring at the latest time yet on this holiday.
