San Francisco's Coit Tower (Explored)

            My girlfriend travels a ridiculous amount, but one of the perks is that she gets many upgrades with regard to her hotel stays.  On the last day of our stay in the San Francisco area, we scored (big-time) a 26th-floor view of two of the city's landmarks - Coit Tower and the island of Alcatraz (to the left in the bay).  While the outside of our hotel window was quite dirty and contrast of the photo reduced, I managed to get a few keepers as the sun was setting off to the left.  

We spent all day in the Muir Woods, walked along the Pacific Ocean and were quite famished as we checked in.  However, we grabbed some quick grub from the Executive Lounge (located on our floor) and opened a bottle of Sangiovese Amantis Riserva and watched the sun go down for an hour.   Later, we stepped out for dinner at a wonderful Italian restaurant named Ideale a few blocks away.  Nice end to our little vacation!
