San Francisco: Day Three, August 4

I took the City Tour on Tower Tours Saturday afternoon. These are few pics I took while on and off the bus. Many of the pictures I took caught window reflections of other riders on the tour so they are not included here but will be at the bottom if you're curious to how crappy a photographer I am.

The tour started at Fisherman's Wharf and headed toward the Golden Gate Bridge. We went along Jefferson Street toward the Presidio.































I have no idea why I took this photo below. The tour guide mentioned something about this being the only house like this in this neighborhood or the last original something house or maybe some type of architecture. It is pretty neat though to see it stuck between the modern buildings. Maybe that was it.
















Here's the San Francisco National Cemetery where many soldiers from each the wars that the U.S. fought in are buried.




















And here we have the Presidio Pet Cemetery.


















Getting closer to the Golden Gate Bridge.















We were able to get some time off the bus to visit Fort Point that's located directly under the Golden Gate Bridge. Temperature was in the low 60's that day but with the wind whipping at the top of the fort it was brrrrrrr!






















Today was the day where the Civil War was re-enacted. This only happens once a year and we were lucky to catch this event.
