San Francisco treat!
Today we travelled from Pismo beach to San Francisco. We really wanted to stop by the Monterrey bay Aquarium on the way but we just didn’t get to it. Our friendly stranger on the beach last night suggested it and we really did think it sounded great. Time, distance, dogs and parking diverted us. We got into San Fran about 2pm. We are staying in the only RV park actually in San Francisco. It is a parking lot one with no grass to it at all. I don’t care for it or the chain link and razor wire surrounding it! But…the reason we are here was to be close to the city in order to go out to dinner and see some sites.
We did a driving tour of the city (and it’s traffic), did some tourist things, ate some dinner and came back to our home on wheels for another wedding leftover beer. The restaurant we chose was a little touristy but the food was great. It was called the Crab house and it was on Pier 39. We got some crab and chowder and the garlic fries! YUMMY!
Saw the Haight-Ashbury district, the Golden gate bridge and traveled some trecherous hills! Thank goodness we left the trailer at the park!
Today for lunch was my first In-N-Out burger experience! It was pretty good, I must say! I like that it is limited and they specialize in just the burgers and fries! Not a fast joint though… But I think I like that too. Sometimes you gotta wait for goodness.
We traveled through Gilroy, CA today. Gilroy is the Garlic capital of the world. Whoowhee what a title! We got some garlic and marveled at the size of elephant garlic, picked out a garlic spice blend and headed out. I did pick up a little candy on the way out. It was from a local candy place in Berkeley called Judy’s. MARVALOUS! It was a Caramallow. I swear, the caramel was 1/2″ thick! Be sure to see the picture I took of it!
If you ever get a chance…try this thing!
I am missing out on the new LOST, and two weeks of the Bachelor and Desperate housewives….Sigh…I am certain I will get caught up one of these days. It is weird living without a TV but quite liberating! I haven’t watched any TV really since we left 2 weeks ago…My brothers can tell you, for our family, this is unheard of! HA!
There are a few wedding pictures up courtesy of Stephanie and Marian…I am sure still more will be up in the days to come! I am still hearing what a great time everyone had! I am so glad! We did too!
