We were left to our own devices Saturday morning, but breakfast at Cafe De La Presse right next door to the Triton was already a habit. Linda and I walked down to Embarcadero and sampled the huge farmers market in and around the Port Ferry Building and then took in a capoeira street performance that Linda's daughter and her boyfriend were in. We didn't do the zip line or the tai chi and the rest of the afternoon/evening was book related (see my other blog Cool Books)
Other things the group did, hit Chinatown for souvenirs, clothes-shopped in Union Square, had a Chinese painting lesson, caught a Giants game (they lost), visited Haight Ashbury, visited museums (the Picasso exhibit at the Stein) and MOMA to name a few.
A couple of things to note. Downtown San Francisco is very pedestrian friendly. From the Triton we found it an easy walk to most places (West Portal Books was a muni ride away) Unless you are planning on using muni and cable cars a lot, a one-day visitors pass will probably do you - plus a lot of quarters. BART we only used on one there-and-back journey but you can go from Montgomery BART station straight to the airport. A useful app for anyone with an iphone is routsey (free) - you tell it which station you are at and it tells you the next bus/tram/cable car/bart arrival times.
