Chinatown by bus
SACRAMENTO, CA - - Friday, we headed back to San Francisco.  On Tuesday's trip we didn't have time to go to the Presidio - - a former military base and now a National Park Historic Site.  After the same drive and ferry trip to SF, we caught a free shuttle bus to the site. 
     The Presidio is much too big to walk around so they have smaller buses to take you to interesting sites, one of which is the eastern entrance to the Golden Gate Bridge.  You can walk across and back; cycle the route; or watch the crowds braving 60-degree temps with 10-15 mph winds.  We walked about 3 miles round trip.  The marine layer fog made things a bit hazy, but on a clear day the views would be spectacular.
     Another interesting part of the trip was the return shuttle bus ride through many SF neighborhoods including Chinatown and back to the ferry dock.
