San Francisco Narration

San Francisco is in California. Cable cars go down the slanting streets. I can see the bay and smell the sea smell as I walk around. A car goes over the Golden gate bridge. The huge bridge is really not golden, but reddish orange. Cars zoom over it and sightseers with cameras walk on the sidewalks and take pictures of this amazing marvel. There is a stand to buy tickets for a ferry cruise, so I buy one and get on. Another bridge looms up near me. The Bay Bridge attracts my attention as the ferry sails by the large gray bridge. The ferry stops at a town across the bay called Marina. I wander around the decks for a while, looking at all the boats. One looks like the Taj-Mahal.  There is a restaurant nearby. I have dinner there. The sun is just beginning to set as I return to the ferry. A seabird wheels overhead. All is quiet except for the low murmur of other top deck passengers talking together. The sun goes down. As soon as it is completely down, I see the lights of San Francisco, far across the bay. But closer, I see the Golden Gate Bridge. It is lit up and looks like a flock of stars have settled on it instead of seabirds. It is beautiful and amazing. San Francisco is closer now. You can see the lights of the city- restaurant signs, window lights, and more- and some of the most important CA buildings- the building that looks like a fire hose, the Museum of Art. And, of course, the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges.

Lovely!
I especially like "The sun goes down. As soon as it is completely down, I see the lights of San Francisco, far across the bay. But closer, I see the Golden Gate Bridge. It is lit up and looks like a flock of stars have settled on it instead of seabirds."
Well done! It's not easy to fit all the facts that you want to include in something and make it beautiful at the same time!
I'll see you tomorrow at church!

What a wonderful narration. I'm going to CA in two weeks. Your narration makes me want to visit the wonderful sites you described. When I get to Pier 39 and see the Ferry Boats it will remind me of you and I shall eat clam chowder out of a bowl made from a loaf of sour dough bread in honor of your narrative!

Mr. Ticklefinger's Caretaker

P.S. I posted this to your Chapter 8 story by misstake. That's what happens when Mr. Ticklefinger wants to be in charge instead of letting Mr. Pointyfinder do the important stuff. Mr. Ticklefinger is sorry and will try to restrict his activities to more lighthearted endeavors in the future.

I love San Francisco, too. We live midway between San Francisco and L.A. Usually we head south, as two daughters have medical treatments at UCLA fairly often. They had heart transplants at age 6.
We love to walk around Chinatown in SF! Soon I hope to walk across the Golden Gate Bride, something I've wanted to do for years.
