After the fires, the Santa Anna winds, the visits from Stephanie, Laurence and her friend ( why does every one came to visit at once?) Chistine, Eric and Zak arrived and we set off to San Francisco.
San Francisco was so cool, we only stayed for four days , far too short! After an eight hour's drive we arrived in the night. Now driving through SF in the night, that's a challenge.
Those lovely hills give so much charm to the City, but when you are trying to find your way through North Beach, you want to turn left and there is an uphill drive so sharp, you look through your windscreen and all you can see is tarmac? And if you turn right the slope is so steep you pray your brakes are good enough, especially if you have your familly in the car!!!
I am sure it is all right for those who live there, though. San Francisco was as cool as ever.... the best bookshop in the world: City Lights, haven of peace and coolness, where we felt the earthquake!! SF Moma, Museum of the Legion of Honor, Haight-Ashbury, the Golden Gate, wonderful Japanese Gardens! Chinatown!!!
Driving back we followed the Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway, Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, Santa Barbara, all in three days!!!
