California Musings - Day 7 (July 10)

Saturday - this was the big one.  We were going to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge!  An easy trip back into town and this time we parked in the parking deck a bit closer to Pier 39.  Back onto the tour bus we went (remember we had two day passes) and off we went.  The tour was a bit disappointing because the audio tape wasn't working and the bus driver had to "tell" us stuff.  He was okay, but I would have liked to hear the audio tape again as there was more information on it.  Oh well.  It was enjoyable to see all the sights again and make our way once more to the Bridge.  Off we got and after pictures were made and confirming plans with Sue again (she would stay there for one tour bus change and then get on and pass over the bridge and wait for us on the other side) we set off.  It was a beautiful day, a little cool but that was perfect for walking across.  It happened to be the same day that the Avon Breast Cancer walk was happening and they were coming from the North side to the South, so we saw probably 100 walkers in all kinds of pink outfits and fun sayings (Save the TaTas, Walkers for Knockers, etc.).  The view was beautiful walking across and we enjoyed it greatly.  Originally Ivan was the only one going to walk, but he was thrilled that we all decided to walk with him.  I was very glad to have done it.  Once on the other side we waited for the bus and eventually got on.  We finished the tour and after we got back to the starting point we went to the nearby McDonald's for lunch.
