Day 3 Saturday:
Back to the Pier! So much to see, so little time! Turns out parking is crazy expensive, luckily though we found an all day parking garage for $18.00 for the whole day. Most of the other garages were $45.00 I was also happy about our parking spot, we were right near the entrance with lots of foot/car traffic. It felt safe to leave our car their.

| Mirror Maze on Pier 39 |
The Mirror Maze was a lot of fun if you ever get the chance to go through it i'd recommend checking it out!
 |
| Hand dipped and carved candles! |
I love candles! This shop hand dips and carves designs into their candles, another cool thing about them is that the whole candle glows when you light it up, further emphasizing the design work!
We then made our way to Fisherman's Wharf.
The wharf was crowded and busy but we saw some fun stuff!
 |
| Boudin Sourdough Bakery |
 |
| Rain forest Cafe! |
After all the walking we were really tired but wanted to go check out China Town so we flagged down a gentleman who had a bicycle taxi and he gave us a ride to China Town with a small tour of famous buildings along the way. When we were dropped off I learned that it was about a 30 min walk back to the Wharf and the pedal taxis don't typically hang out in the area, bummer!

| Took a bicycle trolley to China Town |
 |
| TransAmerica Tower! This tower is built on rollers so that if their is ever an earthquake it will move and not fall! |
 |
| Stopped for drinks at a Chinese Bar. |
 |
| Their was a tree inside the entrance to the restaurant/bar where we stopped. |
 |
| Mai Tai! |
I really enjoyed all of the small shops in China Town, some were trinkety but others had fun more cultural things to see. I would have loved to go home with a tea or Saki set. We ended up walking for hours, and we wanted to make sure and get back before dark, we also wanted to have dinner at the Wharf. Before heading back to the Wharf for dinner we took a break and hit a bar for their happy hour appetizers and drinks!
After a short recovery we started the long hike back to the Wharf, luckily it was mostly downhill.

| Beautiful Church |
 |
| Fire Station |
Overall we had a great day! And it ended with some yummy seafood at a local restaurant in the Wharf.
