Giants Stadium

Feeling very happy to be able to hit the sack after a big day! First up was AT&T Stadium, one of the best baseball stadiums in all of America - if not the best. We did an organised tour of the stadium, our tour guide was terrific, and the ballpark was spectacular. We got to go in the V.I.P lounge, the media room where the manager has his press conference after every game. We went out onto the field, sat in the opposition dugout, got to go into the locker rooms and the #1 Suite/Corporate Box (which cost $545,000 to lease for 5 years) which was very, very nice - but not worth that much! We would have photos but someone - Bluey - forgot the camera..

We then met up with Gena around the 'Pier 39' area - famous for its popularity amongst tourists.  Their were Sea Lions that lounge in the sun in the warmer months and street performers wherever there wasn't a cruise ship! After a bit of window shopping in the area we went and viewed some street artists, definitely buying one of these paintings! Free-hand, using spray paint and putting on a show!

When all that was done we jumped in the car, did some shopping, and then had a bit of a sight-see around San Francisco. What a beautiful city! There was a skyscraper shaped as a pyramid! There is plenty more to tell which I would rather tell with photos but as earlier mentioned.......

Big day tomorrow as well - Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz etc.
