Golden Gate Bridge

“Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.” - Earl Nightingale

 The same day that Elijah and I took the Alcatraz Tour, we went to the Golden Gate Bridge.  We had heard it could be quite foggy - so to wait until a little later to go.  We waited until about noon to check it out - and it was still completely covered in fog.  We took a lot of pictures...but I am not so sure they are worth much!  Regardless, here they are!

This was fairly on par for the visibility.  We are standing right next to it, but you cannot even see the suspensions or anything.

The cables were SO thick - obviously.

There were a lot of people biking across the bridge - one of them nearly killed me.

Even though you cannot really see it - you can still tell how completely massive it is.

Trying to look happy despite the fact we are freeeeeeeezing!!!

It was really difficult for Elijah to get this close to edge of the bridge - because he would have seen the water if he accidentally looked down!  Fraidy cat! =)

 Since these were clearly not optimal viewing conditions...I went back another day with my friend H on our way to Golden Gate Park.  I got a little bit of a better view that day!

There are dedicated bricks all along the walk way before you get on to the actual bridge - much like Little Turtle Waterway!

My friend thought it would be rather amusing to take a picture of these random suited Asians - naturally I obliged.

Still foggy - but definitely much better!

The island from the look out near the bridge - the day Elijah and I went to Alcatraz...you could not even see Golden Gate Bridge from the bay or from the island.

Yay, a picture that actually proves I did see the bridge in person! (Again, brrrrr)
