\"Lombard-01\"<\/p>\n

Next up, mom wanted to see Lombard Street, which she calls the crooked street.\u00a0 We took the Powell-Hyde cable car up, got off at Lombard, and joined a lot of other tourists looking to do the same.\u00a0 I did learn that Lombard is not actually crooked.\u00a0 Rather, there is a one-block section off of Hyde Street which has eight sharp turns, like a zig zag.<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-02\"<\/p>\n

The weather was clear and beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-03\"<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-04\"<\/p>\n

It provides for some fantastic views.<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-06\"<\/p>\n

Mom and Mike are trudging up the street.\u00a0 However, they both only went a couple blocks down.\u00a0 Some years back, Derry and I walked to Coit Tower, up the Tower, back down, and then all of the way up Lombard to Hyde.\u00a0 As we walked up Lombard, there were times I thought I was going to drop dead of exhaustion.\u00a0 There were a couple times I nearly started to cry because it was my dumb idea to walk it.\u00a0 We did make it to Hyde and took the cable car down to the Wharf so I could pig out at In N Out Burger.\u00a0 Following years we walked up from different areas, but never from all the way on the bottom.\u00a0 Lesson learned.<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-08\"<\/p>\n

I’m happy.\u00a0 I didn’t walk that far down. Did I mention I learned my lesson?<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-07\"<\/p>\n

Everyone passes cameras around.\u00a0 I took a lot of photos of a couple girls in their late teens or early 20s.\u00a0 They were having a blast striking all types of poses.\u00a0 I used their camera, and from what I could see, they should be very happy with the pixs. \u00a0 I should have also taken a couple with my camera.\u00a0 Ahh youth!<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-09\"<\/p>\n

More great views – looking towards Alcatraz Island.<\/p>\n

\"Lombard\"<\/p>\n

I tend to go to San Francisco in January, so this is the first time I got to see the flowers in bloom.<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-10\"<\/p>\n

I had a long day planned for us, so it was time to get back on the cable car and head all the way down Powell.<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-11\"<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-12\"<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-13\"<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-14\"<\/p>\n

We made it to the bottom!<\/p>\n

\"Lombard-15\"<\/p>\n

Next up, we walked to Market Street to pick up a bus to Haight Ashbury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
