Day 25

I was wrong in my post yesterday. The demorates have seized control of the house. That will change the american politics. And Hillary made it to a second term, too.For lunch we went to Chinatown today.
But the meal was not as good as it looked.
In the afternoon we went to Fishermans Wharf for some sightseeing. We passed an IHOP (pancake restaurant) where we discovered the great name of the new pancake meal. For the rest of the day every other sentence started with ...super rooty tooty fresh'n fruity....
Alcatraz in the evening sun...
And on Pier 39 live the sealions. They came to this place after the earthquake of 1989 and stayed despite some attemps to move them to somewhere else. Only in summer they move to the north because the shortage of herring. In the winter time up to 600 animals stay near Pier 39.
Sunset over Fishermans Wharf...
This is one of the many small shops in the neighborhood.
