day twenty eight | san francisco

Yep, we are home - sadly - but I thought I'd still post some info and photos for those of you reading the blog.

On our first day in San Francisco, we walked down to Union Square which was just around the corner from where we were staying.  We stayed at the Marine's Memorial Club which is a not for profit hotel to support returned and current Marines and their families. I knew that before we booked and there was certainly no indication that we couldn't stay there.  When we checked in, they asked us if we were club members. No. Are we family members of club members. No. Are we Australian military. No.  We started to get a bit worried but apparently they just check these things, maybe for a discount or something I don't know.  The hotel was amazing.  Big spacious room, free hot breakfast and free cocktails every night. We really loved it. But I digress.


I had texted Melissa when we were there and she gave us a great itinerary for the day.  Walk from Union Square towards the Cable Car Museum, then to China Town, towards North Beach and then onto the Pier.  It was a good day actually apart from one small piece of information that Mel forgot to provide.  The route from Union Square to all those places was up the BIGGEST of all the San Francisco Hills.  Oh. Em. Gee!
