We ate at one of the many restaurants on the bay and then walked around, window shopping.我們吃的,在其中的許多餐館就灣,然後又步行約,窗口購物。 We walked over to K Dock and watched the sea lions.我們走過去到K船塢,並觀看了海獅。 We discussed taking a cruise around San Francisco Bay, but decided to catch a ferry to Sausalito, across the bay from San Francisco.我們討論了以郵輪靠近舊金山灣,但最後決定要搭渡輪到sausalito ,全國各地在聖弗朗西斯科灣。 We visited several art galleries and unique shops in Sausalito, ate an early dinner at a delightful restaurant and then caught a return ferry back to Pier 39.我們走訪了幾位美術畫廊和獨特的商店sausalito ,吃早晚餐,度過一個愉快的餐廳,然後捉住了回報渡輪返回碼頭39 。 As we crossed the bay, the fog was rolling in, blanketing the City by the Bay in a misty blanket.當我們穿過灣,霧被滾滾,布市灣區,在薄霧的毛毯。
