But of course it has not rained in what seems like forever around these parts so it had to rain today. We planned a trip to the Bay Area so – we went anyway. We left Sacramento around 10:30 am so we might miss the jack-knifed big rig and it’s lost load of hay that had I80 backed up for miles this morning. Success on that note.
It was a misty, rainy, dreary, . … day.
I was hard to take pictures as the salty mist started to coat the camera and it’s wimpy holder. Drove along scenic hwy1 and took a few shots. Checked out Fort Point ( it was closed ) and snapped a few shots of the Golden Gate Bridge. Somewhere I became obsessed with the waves hitting the rocks. I have many shots of the ocean spraying up as it crashed into the rocks. This led to the inevitable – I got wet – duh.
We decided to head out towards the beach. Along the way Mr.Bus tried to shorten my truck ( I was not driving hee hee ). The driver apparently took the advertisment on his bus to heart.
Once on the beach I was met by the Sea Gull Mafia. I mean to tell yah – these guys meant business!
They even held these poor tourists and their car hostage – demanding bread!
Since the weather was so nasty and not condusive to productive picture taking we decided to visit the cemetery. Now the map machine thing was broken. Emm … where is that space in the big place? All the grave markers look the same . .. well we stopped and asked these nice guys for directions:
And we were headed in the right direction.
Back onto the freeway and back to San Francisco. We met up with Rae’s newphew and his gal, had a nice dinner, some good conversation, and headed back towards Sacramento.
