San Francisco pictures

Here are some misc. pictures we took while touring San Francisco:

One block of Lombard Street in the city is so steep that instead of just making it a steep street (many we saw are about 15% grade (note that you’ll see many warning signs and truck brake inspection places etc. when you get about an 8% grade) they had to put in switchbacks.  People actually live on that block and have little parking spots right along the switchbacks.  We saw pedestrians walking down the hill and they had to hang on it was so steep!  Notice in the pictures looking down there were hoards of tourists at the bottom taking pictures!

Also included in this photo gallery are pictures of the city from the highest point called “Twin Peaks” (910 ft!)
