But is was a good day. Her Ladyship and I ended up walking most of the way, only taking Muni (SF's public transit) from the train to the Ferry Building and then back to the train. Between those trips we walked from the Ferry Building through the Financial District to North Beach, climbed up to Coit Tower and then back down the other side to the Embarcadero where we walked back to the Ferry Building.
One thing that made the trip fun was seeing all the little pockets of oddness and fun you wouldn't get from taking the bus. For instance, did you know there's a little park with neat bronze sculptures at the base of the Transamerica Pyramid? I was also careful to point out spot where scenes from either The Titan's Curse or the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel books occured. We even saw Dr. John Dee's secret hideout (Coit Tower) and the mountain that Atlas's garden and the gate to Prometheus' shadowrealm where, i.e.Mount Tamalpais, not to mention Alcatraz where Dr. Dee held his monster army.
My feet are very tired and I'm pretty sure I had a couple of blisters at one point but I am amazed as my back doesn't hurt. Converse shoes may not have much between your foot and the ground but they sure seem well suited to me.
