Anne's Visit: Friday

Sallie and I selected some picnic foods at the grocery store on Friday morning then met Anne at the San Francisco airport and headed to the coast. I always make Anne drive when we're going over lots of hills so I navigated and she drove. We stopped at Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel, north of Half Moon Bay. There were picnic tables and amazing views so we enjoyed a light repast with the gulls and crashing waves.

We then headed north up Highway 1 through Devil's Slide and Pacifica stopping at Fort Funston. The air currents were perfect for hang gliding and we saw up to six in the air at one time. Funston is a happening place for canines and their people. We walked the old roads of the fort towards the north and looked down the stretch of Ocean Beach. Once back in the car, we braved rush hour traffic on our way to Alameda, with a quick stop on Treasure Island to catch the best view of the City by the Bay.

Anne got a tour of Borders (and burned a CD) and I did some shopping at Trader Joe's for Saturday's supper. Sallie had solicited some recommendations for dinner near her store and we ended up having Thai at Toomie's. It was delish! I'll definitely be going back there again.
