The Crookedest Street....

We made our way to Lombard Street. Built in 1922, the crookedest street in the world has eight hairpin turns within just 600 feet intended to reduce the hill’s 27% grade. We both enjoyed the chance to walk up the stairs alongside the street, a first for both of us.
There were incredible views across to Coit Tower, built in 1933 as a memorial (it only coincidentally looks like a fire hose as it is not a memorial to firefighters).
