Assigned our City Guides tours!

Garden Court / Palace Hotel

Yea, we passed our 'final' exams - group mock tours along Historic Market Street. Next class we graduate! We don't become guides quite then yet, though. We're each assigned a mentor, gather information from other guides for our assigned tours, work all that through with our own research and interest, and practice, practice and then practice with our mentor (and maybe even you who are nearby!), and then we'll be unleashed to represent the city of San Francisco. Bill was assigned Historic Market Street: Path of Gold http://www.sfcityguides.org/desc.html?tour=40, and I was assigned Billionaire's Row: Outer Broadway Architecture http://www.sfcityguides.org/desc.html?tour=34. Bill's assignment was his second choice, mine was my first choice. Any of the tours we had requested we know we would enjoy guiding; any research we had done for our mock tours made us love them all! We celebrated a successful day with a martini at the famous Palace Hotel.
