Day 14 San Francisco_China Town

Our first view of the Golden Gate was Smokey



Soon the above was the view of the Golden gate. It was totally engulfed in smoke. The hill above it was on fire and the wind blowing toward the bridge you could see none of the super structure above us.



By the time we left the wind had shifted and the bridge was still there, it did not burn down as feared.





China town was a hoot









Traditional Chinese cuisine, If I just new what I was eating! We ate on a second floor balcony overlooking China Town scene.



This stuff was so hot I cried through lunch, but soo good!
