4.15: San Francisco Day 4
I woke up early the next morning, in time to catch the sunrise from our private balcony. Then Rex and I got dressed and went for our first daylight walk on the beach, before returning to a common room for a delicious breakfast. We sat in that phenomenal room overlooking the ocean, enjoying a cozy fire and the beautiful views and relaxing with our books.
Soon after, it was time to pack up and head to Ross Ranch, where we rode horses through a redwood forest in the mountains. The ride was slow and easy, and shorter that I had geared myself up for, but I really enjoyed talking with our teenaged guide. She had a lot in common with the me of my youth.
We drove back to SF on 101, avoiding the beautiful but somewhat nauseating twists and turns of the PCH. I enjoyed seeing the vineyards, but unfortunately we didn't stop to take any pictures. They were beautiful, with some fields starting to turn colors for the fall. We stopped for lunch in some little town and ate at a pub that had a most delicious beer battered platter of fried goodness. At this point, I can't remember more than the tasty food.
When we got back to the city, we went straight to our hotel by the airport (and by straight, I mean we got a little lost and had to make a few U-turns, but we didn't go anywhere special.) We took a nice walk along the bay, watching planes land and hoping to find something to eat. I ended up settling for warm cookies from the front desk, with a side of free internet.
The next morning we got up and flew home.
The End
