Probably a waste of precious time in San Francisco, but I was tired. I&#8217;d had a busy few days and even though COVID was done, my energy levels were still low. Trying to decide what I wanted to do with my limited time left I decided it had to be the Golden Gate Bridge. I wanted my photo dammit! It wasn&#8217;t perfect, but it was a lot less foggy. I tried to pick the middle of the day &#8211; hopefully time for the morning fog to clear, but before the evening fog arrived. There were still some wisps of fog around but I got a few decent photos. You&#8217;ll see at least one when I do my SF photo dump. I also use the opportunity to buy some gifts at the golden gate bridge gift shop \/ information centre and learn a bit more about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden Gate park was on my to do list, but it seemed like a lot to do. I also had to get to a library because Qantas had told me that I had to print out the confirmation of my upgrade to an exit row seat. (As it turned out I didn&#8217;t need it, but that wasn&#8217;t something I wanted to risk.) So I found a library branch open on Saturday and without too much trouble I got the necessary paperwork printed. By this time it was almost 5pm, so I headed back to the hotel. I was thinking I would go out to dinner, but as it turned out there were no restaurants nearby that I could easily find that I felt like. That was one of the big disappointments that the restaurant attached to the Mosser was temporarily closed. So I got Uber Eats &#8211; again! My final night in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, here&#8217;s one photo &#8211; one of the very few I took with me actually in it!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simon.treadgold.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0390-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simon.treadgold.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0390-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202\" width=\"653\" height=\"871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simon.treadgold.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0390-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simon.treadgold.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0390-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.simon.treadgold.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0390-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.simon.treadgold.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_0390-rotated.jpg 1158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well by Saturday I was pretty exhausted so I slept in and had a lazy morning.
