SAN FRANCISCO, WE ARE HERE

But first, I note that we are less than three weeks away from November 5, when we learn if we will continue to have a Democracy,.,..or NOT.  I read an article wondering why Michelle Obama has not actively supported Kamala Harris.  First, she is concerned about her safety.  Second, she says she is not a politician.  However, she most definitely will be with Harris in the final stretch run.  Michelle will be well-protected if campaigning with Kamala.

Did you see Donald Trump at his bizarre town hall gathering in Oaks, Pennsylvania?  Niece Mary Trump says he is decompensating before our eyes.  She is a clinical psychologist, and said Trump exhibited signs of severe mental deterioration.

Not much walking yesterday.

The Norwegian Encore approaching port, California just north of San Francisco, then entrance under the Golden Gate Bridge.

My view seat with scotch.

Notice the fog obscuring the top of the bridge.

Sutro Tower.

Boudin Bakery, home of sourdough bread since 1849, a year after the begin of the Gold Rush.

Ghirardelli Square.

Downtown towers, with Coit Tower to the left.

The tallest is Salesforce Tower at 1070 feet.  #2, Transamerica Pyramid, 853 feet, with Coit Tower now to the right, 210 feet.

A Princess liner is in our berth.  So we wait awhile.

Arrival at Port of San Francisco.

We are at the foot of Telegraph Hill, where Coit Tower sits at the top.

Our cabin has a view of downtown SFO.  To the left just below is the Ferry Building, where I've dined in the past.

We also face the Oakland Bay Bridge.

Sunset.

The Moon over the the Bay Bridge.

We had dinner in the Manhattan Room.

The red and white wines served in the dining rooms at no extra cost are these.  You can pay more for better wines....but not worth it.

Cheddar and potato soup, with Caesar Salad to start.

New York Strip Steak.

Ice cream and Bananas Foster.

Then went dancing in two locations, ending the evening at The Cavern for karaoke.  This night club is designed similarly to The Cavern Club in Liverpool, where the Beatles got started.

Did not get sleep until 3AM.  Half of those 6050 steps came from dancing.
