We hopped off the bus at the entrance to Union Square:
Macy's was right across the street.
We went there in search of some long-sleeved shirts for Tom. (The weather is getting steadily cooler.)
From inside the store we had some great top-down views. In fact we had a bird's-eye view of the Big Bus itself! Whole top down, not top half up. Revenge!!
From inside Macy's we could see all of Union Square:
My iPhone camera couldn't resist zooming in on the statue in the plaza.
All in all, we had the most "foto fun" of the day at Macy's.
I had the chance to stand right behind the "m" in Macy's storefront signage:
And also behind the "y star-apostrophe s." Still top-half views, but definitely more fun.
Also snapped this top-half view from the patio of the Cheesecake Factory on the roof. (Zoom in to see that red iPhone 7 billboard! )
We hopped back on the bus and drove across the Bridge to North Vista Point.
There we had a chance to see the Lone Sailor statue--a tribute to all who sailed, in the service of our country, through the Golden Gate Bridge, and especially in remembrance of those who never returned.
Back on the ship, we said goodbye to the city spread out before us:
The Amsterdam sailed away at 11 p.m.
The full moon and the lights strung the length of the Oakland Bay Bridge made for a beautiful sail-away scene:
