We’re glad we visited this iconic Northern California destination many years ago, when the city was still a semi-safe community, and the homeless and beggars were a minor inconvenience. There was much to see and photograph, and for those who love seafood (Deborah does, Charlie, not so much), this was more than just a tourist trap. Charlie was sent back to the Bay Area on a corporate meeting, where he was able to make the trip to Alcatraz Island. He still raves about the tour. Ghirardelli Square was certainly a luscious treat, that provided our chocolate fix for several months. Would we make a return visit? Not until the conditions are dramatically improved. I suspect that means, “Not In Our Lifetimes”
