Day Fourteen

San Francisco -- started off rough, with a fruitless two hour walk to try to get ourselves onto the Golden Gate Bridge, but got better as the day progressed. Ghirardelli Square (the plaza, not the tasty treat), delicious (undocumented) clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl for lunch at Fisherman's Wharf, a ride on the cable cars, Chinatown, City Lights Books (a beat-haven), the "Painted Ladies" so prominent in the Full House intro, and a drive over the Golden Gate Bridge (to make up for the morning), with a stop at Vista Point to see it in all its glory. 

Day Thirteen

Napa! (Five vineyards in one day!)

Full house?

Day Twelve (?)

I'm starting to lose track of the days, but that's okay. We'll call this twelve and go from there. 

Just a few shots of the Pacific. It seems endless. 

Tomorrow: wine tasting in Napa Valley. 

Starfish!

My super cool cousin Susan, who hosted us for two nights in northern California, in Arcata, took us to this gorgeous beach this morning, where we found these adorable starfishes.

A big thanks to Sue for showing us a good time and welcoming us into her home.

Day Eleven (Part Three)

MORE REALLY SUPER GIANT TREES. That one there is "The Tall Tree" (um, maybe...they were all pretty tall).

Day Eleven (Part Two)

MORE REALLY SUPER GIANT TREES!
