Amtrak 2020 Winter Trip - San Francisco February 29

Ghirardelli Square

San Francisco

This morning I decided I would go over to San Francisco and I ended up traveling by bus, BART(Bay Area Rapid Transit), streetcar, boat and Amtrak. I actually decided to go over to San Francisco via the free EmeryGoRound bus to the BART Station and then BART over to San Francisco. While in San Francisco I traveled a short distance by streetcar but mostly walked. I walked from the Pier 39 shopping area through Fisherman's Wharf area on to Ghirardelli Square for my treasured Hot Fudge Sundae. After arriving in San Francisco, I decided I would return to the East Bay via the Ferry Boat to Oakland as it was more convenient and less walking. From Oakland I took Amtrak's Capitol Corridor train 15 minutes back to Emeryville. For me that is a full day of adventure. 

Above lead photo is Ghirardelli Square. Below are photos as I took them throughout the day.

Heading by Amtrak to Sacramento to visit with friend Nancy and lunch at The Old Spaghetti Factory tomorrow. I'll do a blog tomorrow covering my visit to Sacramento.

After all this going, I am pretty sure Monday will be a day hanging in Emeryville and resting up for my return ride Tuesday on the eastbound California Zephyr.

Amtrak 2020 Winter Trip - East Bay Coastal Walk February 28

East Bay Coastal Walk 

Surprise! I know I promised "NO" update post today but I so enjoyed the almost three hours walk I made today on the East Bay Coastal Walkway just blocks from my hotel I decided to share the photos with you today. Even after taking the walk I did take a much needed nap late afternoon.

It took a while but I narrowed down the photos to these 30 to share with you. The lead photo is of "yours truly" as I began the walk with the San Francisco skyline in the background. If you are ever in the area on the East Bay in the Berkerly, Emeryville, Oakland area, I highly recommend this walk. It is an official State Park as identified in the first photo below.

Will be riding Capitol Corridor Amtrak Regional train to and from Sacramento.
