San Francisco ..... part III

Embarcadero is at the waterfront of the port of San Francisco.  It was constructed atop a seawall on reclaimed land.  It derives its name from the Spanish verb embarcar, meaning "to embark". Embarcadero itself means "the place to embark".

San Franciscans known for cultural diversity and their laid back way of life enjoy a meal at one of the many open-air restaurants by the Embarcadero.

One of the most enjoyable pastimes in the Bay is water activities.  Weekend day sailing or racing is widely practiced year around.   Crossing the bay to Sausalito usually by powerboat is the one of the best ways to commute.  

Sausalito is a lovely seaside community across the bay from San Francisco.  It can be reached either by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge or by boat.  In this picture we see its Yacht Club and its environs.
