Don't Drive in the City
Why is it when you need a street to go a certain direction it's a one way street or you can't make a left turn or you can't go straight or turn right? Seriously, we had all those problems today driving around in San Fran.
We left for the North Bay and Muir Woods at 10:30 after a leisurely morning of breakfast, showering, the post office and getting gas. The sky was cloudy but the air was clear; we could see for miles. We took the Richmond/San Rafael bridge over to Larkspur and down to Highway 1 and over the tiny twisty turns out to the Woods. I had my camera so our planned 1 hour walk turned into a stop-n-go tour that took 2 hours after our decision to take the longest walking route. We enjoyed every minute.
We drove across the Golden Gate Bridge down to the City and (after stopping at Fort Miley for more views, pictures and walking) had a really late lunch at the Bistro in the Cliff House. The view was fantastic and the food was pretty good (though super pricey).
Sal had not been to Coit Tower so we made our way across the City through a few tunnels making not a few wrong turns. A word of advice: Don't drive through Chinatown and especially avoid Grant Street whenever possible. We finally made it to Coit Tower and after walking around and taking some more photos we headed for home taking some more wrong turns before finally getting on the Bay Bridge right during rush hour. It was a long trip home and we're sure glad to be here.
Here are some photos from the day. For more, check out my photo album.
Sal is in this photo. Can you spot her? (Muir Woods)
Roots are so cool. (Muir Woods)
My favorite photo from the Woods
This trip seemed to be all about trees. Here are some hella cool ones at Fort Miley.
Sal is much more easily seen in this pic. (Fort Miley)
