PCH Road Trip - Post 1

After landing in San Francisco and picking up our Chrysler 200 convertible, Katie and I headed to Fisherman's Wharf to see if we could pick up tickets to tour the Alcatraz. The tour has been sold out for weeks and we were hoping to get lucky. We were not lucky so this is about as close as we got:
We walked around Fisherman's Wharf and grabbed a sourdough bread sandwich. After that we checked in to our hotel which was within walking distant to the very curvy Lombard Street. From there we were able to catch a cable car to Union Square.

To cap off the night we had a delicious dinner at a Tapas restaurant followed by a show of Flamenco. This morning we headed over the Golden Gate Bridge and had breakfast a Fred's Coffee Shop in Sausalito before arriving at Muir Woods. We took the Ocean View trail for a 2.6 mile hike in the redwood forest.
After that we started our trek south on Route 1 aka the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). We arrived in Monterey late this afternoon and took a walk around Cannery Row before heading to Carmel-by-the-sea. Off to dinner we go!
