Franciscan Crab

On Thursday evening, I made my first trip up to Fisherman's Wharf for dinner.

The sealions were in residence at Pier 39, drawing a crowd of onlookers.

The views from the Franciscan Crab are good, although I'm keeping the best sunset view for Sunday evening.

It is a shame that one of the two restaurant spots at the end of Pier 39 remains unoccupied, as it was empty last year too, but it's in a prime spot.  The other is now an all-you-can-eat bar, which is a shame.

The weather has been remarkably consistent: morning fog eventually giving way to a sunny day, then a clear evening. 

I considered going on a 2 hour sunset cruise, but the price was eye-wateringly large for one of them - well over $100 - and the other that was half the price was already full.

So here's a picture of the cruise leaving instead!
