While the Bay Trail doesn't really extend West into the little channel under the Lefty O'Doul (3rd Street) bridge, I decided to follow it almost to the end, near where the houseboats are moored. A pair of sea lions surfaced and swam nearby. After this little detour, I walked East, past AT&T Park (formerly known as PacBell Park), and North along the Bay.
With traces of snow on the hills, I bundled up for the cold weather. I looked rather like a homeless person - who of course is trying to stay warm - and not like one of the fashionably, but lightly, dressed folks dashing between heated buildings off the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Never mind, I was very happy to be outside taking pictures of every interesting bird, building, or bizarrely photogenic item in sight. I stopped at the Java House for eggs and bacon to refuel for a few minutes. I ended my walk today at the Delancey Christmas Tree lot, south of the Bay Bridge.
