San Francisco from the boat

Day two of our trip (day one was the flight). We visited San Francisco, made a tour through the steep streets of downtown, walked the Golden Gate bridge in the mist, checked Chinatown and cruised the river passing Alcatraz. I made these quick sketches on the boat. At this point the mist had cleared, and the sun was trying to shine bravely, but it was still far too cold for summer, maybe 13 degrees Celsius.

Mooie schetsen Rene! Ik vroeg me al af wanneer we de eerste schetsen van deze trip zouden zien. Zo te horen een succesvolle vakantie.

Inderdaad, net terug. Het was een geweldige vakantie in een geweldig land.

Nice stuff Rene! Good to see your sketches from the US. Yes, SF is cold in summer, but Davis and the central valley are veerrry hot. I prefer cold SF!

Thanks Pete, I would agree, I am not that fond of death valley temperatures either, but 13 degrees C(55 F) was a bit on the cold side.
