A Bad Start to the Day turned Good

The Ferry Terminal-Jack London Square, Oakland

The ferry boat coming in

Yesterday, I woke up to a transit mess. I got to the BART station to take the first train to San Francisco at 5:16am as my usual. Well, there was a huge fire near the West Oakland station and it damaged the tracks and there was no direct service to San Francisco from the East Bay. I took another train, got off in Downtown Oakland, took a bus and hopped on a ferry to San Francisco from Jack London Square in Oakland. Even though I arrived at work late (they were happy to see me as they did not think I was going to show up) I ended up enjoying the ride over. It was so beautiful, peaceful and with great scenery to look at.

It was a great trip and when I have more time I will take the ferry again in the morning.
