Carolina’s Notes
Tony and I awoke in my brother’s spare bedroom. We hung out to see how the morning and day would shape up. We made ourselves at home and took showers, etc. Then everyone was at home and wanting to show us some of the sights that San Francisco area had. My brother treated to a wonderful early dinner at Sam’s Café in Tiburon. We enjoyed our time spent together then it was time for my brother and his family to dash to their commitments.
Tony and I made our way back to Harry through the streets of San Francisco. This tour was different from my stay here in 1994. We traveled Highway 101, which gave me a different perspective on life in this metropolis. We came upon Moss Beach and decided to go to Moss Beach Distillery. We had one drink and watched the sun set on the Pacific Ocean and spoke to a delightful couple. I was pleased that we stopped.
We got home to Harry and I was feeling a bit woozy. I got myself ready for lounging in front of the TV and informed Tony that I’d unpack my overnight bag in the morning. I flaked in front of the TV until Tony told me it was time to go to bed.
Tony’s Notes
Yes, we woke up feeling a little rough. That was no surprise because I drank like a fish the day before. Ed made us a spinach and feta egg white omelet that was far superior to the Main Street Grill’s $10 omelet.
By mid-afternoon, we followed Ed, Lisa, Kyle, and Morgan in their car to Tiburon and ate at Sam’s. I had a great Halibut Salad. The restaurant had a fantastic view of the Bay. You could see part of the Golden Gate Bridge, and Angel Island. Far across the Bay was the downtown San Francisco skyline. After we ate, we walked around a little bit and chatted about the area.
Back in 1994, Carolina and I had flown into the San Francisco area and visited for nine days. That had been one of our first real vacations. Back then, Ed & Lisa were living in a condo in downtown Danville, and had no children. They spoiled us. We had rode bicycles through Fishman’s Wharf, the Presidio, Museums, and over the Golden Gate Bridge down into Sausalito. I remember that we took a ferry back to Fisherman’s Wharf. During that visit, we had stayed in Monterey, visited Carmel, toured through the Monterey Aquarium, and Cannery Row. We also made a day in Napa Valley tasting wine all day. So, during this trip, I was not sure if I would do those things, or just relax, get caught up on these journal entries, or start looking for work.
Anyway, after we ate today at Sam’s, Carolina and I made our way along US101 to Route One, and along the Pacific Coast. It is a gorgeous drive through Sausalito, over the Golden Gate Bridge, through San Francisco, and along the coast toward Half Moon Bay. The views were fantastic, but I always think about seeing cars go over the edge like in the movies.
Stopping at Moss Beach Distillery was a must. We were there in time to sip a margarita while watching a perfect sunset. We also had the opportunity to meet a very nice couple who were watching the sunset with us.
