M.S. Oosterdam- A Pretty Mid-Sized Ship

A visit to Holland America's M.S. Oosterdam for a ship inspection began with morning trip on our local transit Ferry to the San Francisco Ferry Terminal.

Blue Bottle Coffee

The Ferry building is a tourist mecca in itself, offering dining, places to shop, Farmer's Market from our local agriculture. There is always a long line for the Blue Bottle Coffee known for it's unique variety menu. Well worth the wait for a smooth cup of coffee on walk to work, or start the day of visiting the city.
