San Francisco Old and the New all mixed upThe weather changed again, rain for the first hour out of Merced towards the coast Salinas and Monterrey.
Stopped at Laguna Seca Raceway, Home of the US MotoGP, rode around the outside, very hilly, lots of ups and downs.
Carried on to Pebble Beach, Private Road, Motorcycles not allowed which at $9.25 for 17 miles may not have been a bad thing.
Back onto Highway 1 and San Francisco, a city of contrasts and many tourists.

Merced to San Francisco

In 3D

Laguna Seca Raceway

Highway 1 - Great ride, lots of bikes on the road and cars for the long weekend (Memorial day)

City Hall, very impressive

Art on the streets everywhere

These guys know what they are doing

Symbolic Entrance to China Town

This really is a China Town

Art on the buildings as well

All the streets are like this, cars parked uphill are required to turn their wheels to the left and cars parked downhill must turn their wheels to the right to prevent runaways.
And if you plan on walking like me, take the bus or the train or the cable car or the street car

View of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Coit Tower which is on top of a hill I was foolish enough to walk up, take the bus next time.

Coit Tower Marker

Coit Tower, there is some history here, google it.

Fishermans Wharf, Pier 39, Shops, Restaurants and Rides and millions of Tourists

The Bridge being built

Seemed to be the speciality here, Clam Chowder in a Sourdough Bowl

Alcatraz from the Wharf

Cable Car, slow, noisy, bumpy and packed, a fun ride.
