Vistor's Views

My friend Jeralyn came to visit me for a weekend in Nov. We had GREAT weather for our city tour day. We walked fisherman's warf, took a boat cruise of the bay (and under the bridge), walked the thousand steps (or at least is seemed like it) to Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, and walked through North Beach for tea tasting in China town. (Pictoral narrative below).
The next day was very foggy and chilly for our drive up the coast on Highway 1 to Point Reyes National Seashore park. During our foggy coastal adventure, we walked down and up stairs the equals a 30 story building that lead to the Point Reyes Lighthouse which sits on the foggiest and windiest point in North America.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I trust you all had a wonderful time with family and/or friends. I stayed in CA this year. My brother Sam has a good friend who is a chef and owns a cooking school in the Gourmet Ghetto in Berkeley. He cooked up an excellent gourmet Thanksgiving dinner for 21 people who came together at my brother's house. YUM.
