San Francisco...Fishermans Wharf...



It was a lovely day, so we decided to walk from Lombard St. to the famouse torist spot in SF.

とても気持ちいいお天気だったので、ロンバートストリートからかの有名な観光地までブラブラ歩くことに。
この急な坂を下りていき…


 
 
Headed down the slope and it led us to....FISHERMANS WHARF:-)
 
 
たどり着いたのはフィッシャーマンズワーフ。
 
 
 
 
 
The orange color of fruits vividly stood out against the blue sky and sea.
 
港だけどなぜかフルーツも売っていたりして…
鮮やかなオレンジが青空に映える
 
 


 
 
 
Actually, I knew the name of Fishermans Wharf, but didn't have any previous knowledges about there. 
 
ここはショッピングモールになってるみたいだけど、
下調べしてきていないので、予備知識ゼロ^^;
 
 

 
 
Everyone was looking down...
 
What are you guys looking at???
 
みんなが何か覗き込んでるけど…
ナニ???
 


WOW, A lot of sea lions were lying on barges!!!

They say that sea lions use here, PIER 39, to "haul out" or come out of the water to rest. There is plenty of food nearby, and the docks are protected from storm waves. In addition, their predators like sharks or orcas do not come into the Bay.



なんとアザラシがたーっくさんお昼寝中???

ここPIER39はアザラシがひと休みしに来る有名なスポットとのこと。 嵐の高波や天敵のサメなどを避けて安心して休めるらしい…




Look at their sleeping faces! Cute!!!

 ふふ、爆睡だね…可愛い❤





"Now that you come here, Fishermans Wharf, you have to eat 'Dungeness Crab' and clam chowder soup."
Mr. K, my workmate, who traveled with me,  strongly recommended.

"And order some BEER ;-)"
Mr. F smiled.

We ordered a steamed crab.  It was soooo YUMMY!

It was sunny day.
Fulfillment and freedom that I never felt.
Cheerful mood with drink:)
I'll never forget this happiest moment....

We'd had a good buzz on...
However, we were to sober up in an instant in a couple of hours;)

Our wandering around SF continues...




「ここに来たらやっぱりダンジネスクラブ(蟹)とクラムチャウダーだろ〜♪ 」
と、この日行動を共にしたKさん

「そそ、ビールもね♪♪」
ってFさん

「んじゃ、アタシも飲んじゃうか〜(*^-^)b」


蒸した蟹は身が締まっていてめちゃくちゃ美味しい
仕事をやり遂げた達成感と解放感
心地よい風
この瞬間をずっと忘れない…


さて、ほろ酔い気味で上機嫌な私たち♪♪♪
その酔いも一気に覚めることに…


つづく…

  10. So many tasty looking fruits in San Francisco! I bet they taste much better than the same ones exported to Europe :)
