[September 2008]
Who: w/ Caroline & Justin R.
What: SF Maritime NHP
When: Saturday, September 13
Where: Hyde Street Pier (accross from the cable car pickup on Bay)Why: because it's free (except to go on the vessels) & it was too nice of a day to be indoors
"Stand on the stern of Balclutha, face west to feel the fresh wind blowing in from the Pacific Ocean. Located in the Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park offers the sights, sounds, smells and stories of Pacific Coast maritime history." I've been living in the BAY forever and this was my first visit. It's weird that I never even knew this place existed until recently. It's near Pier 39 and with all the tourists/street acts it's easy to miss. It's such a nice quiet area. We grabbed coffee and took a stroll through the park and I have to admit, though I don't really have an interest in 19th century ships it's still a cool place to check out.
Tip: it's free entry, you pay around $5 for a tix to be able to walk on all of the ships, go on a sunny day, parking is limited and go with someone who appreciates doing random things.
