For our first afternoon, James and I left our hotel room, and took a long walk around the city. We went down to Union Square, then to the Financial District, then over to Pier to see the shops and restaurants, and then up the wharf toward the bridge and back toward home. We cut into the city a little bit and found this staircase that went straight up a the end of a little side street. We took the stairs up (there were TONS) and walked by people's houses and gardens nestled in on this hill. We realized about half-way up that this must be Telegraph Hill, which is famous for a group of parrots that used to live in the plants there. We kept going up, up, and up, until we reached the top. Here I am at the top. At least it's a photo and you can't tell how much I am panting (out of shape!!!). What a beautiful view, though, from the top of the hill.
