Funeral and San Francisco

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. My Grandmother died just before new year's so I went out to California for the funeral. Please keep her in your prayers.

The weather was rather dreary the whole time and we had just missed a HUGE storm that had gone through the bay area a couple of days before we got there. Still, we were able to get up to San Francisco to see some sights the day before I left.

San Francisco was covered most of the day with its stereotypical fog:


And we saw some of the usual touristy things like going across the Golden Gate Bridge:


Coit tower:


Cable cars:


and of course Alcatraz:


The main reason I wanted to go was to see the Shrine to Saint Francis of Assisi. However, along the way we also stumbled upon the church of Saints Peter and Paul:


and went inside:


Thankfully, we also made it to the Shrine of Saint Francis:


The we went down to the bay front and looked for the "money shot":
