Wednesday: After a good night's rest with the ocean waves hitting the beach nearby, we left Half Moon Bay State Park to meet our significant others in Salsalito, CA which is just on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Today's technology (GPS and cell phones) made this rendezvous happen as if we planned the exact time and place to meet. Perfect! Had lunch in Salsalito and then went north to Petaluma, CA. We used this as our base for the next three days. Had a very nice dinner @ Dexter's in Petaluma that evening.
Thursday: Left early for Muir Woods, a Redwood Forest and National Monument. Great stand of old Redwoods. Weather was sunny and about 60 degrees, very pleasant. Then left for San Francisco to see some of the sites. Parked near the Wharf and had lunch at an Italian restaurant. I had clam chowder in a bread bowl, best I've ever had. Did a little shopping then I went to get the car while the other three went to Ghirardelli's to buy chocolate and get ice cream with chocolate. I drove the hilly streets awhile while they stuffed themselves. Was fun to drive some of the same streets as driven in the movie Bullitt. Also drove around looking for those "Painted Ladies" homes. After that drove back across the bridge to drive along the shoreline looking for a lighthouse in the Point Reyes National Seashore but turned around after about an hour of driving without success. Finished the day with a meal at a Nepal Indian Restaurant.
