Default Our 350Z drive through SF yesterday

Yesterday my wife and I ran the pre-TI-RR that Chris (HyperSprite) put together last year.
We used the brochure he made.
Later in the afternoon it got a little foggy.
That was about the time we made it to Twin Peaks.

We added a couple of stops at the end that made us smile.
1) Ferry Park -to see the cherry headed Conures at sunset.
2) Vino e Cucina - to have a night candlight Italian Dinner. Nice treat!

Here is a couple pictures of our trip:

Cable Car at the top of Lombard


Koit Tower


Z near Lombard street. We wanted to get out and just walk a bit.


Downtown - Fog is coming back in.


GG Bridge


Conures at play.




It was a great day to drive SF.

Awesome PICS. Are those birds wild? And I think you mean SMOG, not fog.

Yes, those are wild conures. There is a flock that runs from Russian Hill to Ferry Park. It now numbers about 200 birds. There was about 100-125 in the park yesterday. I took a video of me feeding them.
I was able to get a couple to get out of my hand. It was so cool !!!

If you are interested you should rent the DVD called "Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hills".

Yeah, that might be a little inversion layer there. However, most of that was moisture in the air. It was a pretty clear day in SF.
