After a quiet Easter in Oakland with a trip to the gym, a couple of dog walks, and a walk to the local Farmer’s Market, including a couple of tasty pastries, Bob and I decided to take the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) one stop over to the Embarcadero station in San Francisco. This was a super easy trip, as the West Oakland station is literally a walk across two parking lots from the house and we had our pick of trains going west across the bay, as they all stop at the Embarcadero Station.

The Embarcadero section of San Francisco lies along San Francisco Bay and is probably most famously known for the Ferry Building, the various piers, and Fisherman’s Wharf. We saw a bit of the waterfront but also checked out a few new (to us) parks in the area as we continue to increase Bob’s walking stability and endurance.

We also stumbled on North Park which had a number of sculptures.
