DIRECTIONS TO THE EMBARCADERO

DIRECTIONS TO THE EMBARCADERO
© Farouk Asvat 

[] Directions From A Gringo In San Francisco

     'Excuse me, how do I get to the Embarcadero?'

"Well sir, you can head due north
  And walk for five minutes,
 Then turn west,
 And walk for about three minutes,
 Then you turn east
 And go for another minute or so:
 It's on the south side,
You'll see it,
 It's quite easy,
 - You can't miss it.
 Or you could take the bus,
 Or just grab a taxi,
 Or better still,
 Ride the cable car;
 It's just down the road,
 You'll see it,
 Its quite easy,
 - You can't miss it."
