The Inn Above Tide Sausalito

... of fish. An amusing sight.

After a couple of local ales at the Columbus Cafe we had a snooze ourselves, before dragging our sorry ***** out for a burger at 11pm (clearly on the gastro tick list). We chose Burgermeister who grind their own meat in store and as we discovered not only sell lager but ask you how you want your burger cooking. HELLO.

SF had been wicked and we could definitely have spent more time here. Some ...

... at 6:30pm so was a long day. Headed back to In'N'Out for tea, not sick of them yet and there's not much gluten free places around San Francisco. We were watching a homeless man while we were eating, one lady stopped and gave him a penny, can you believe that and he was grateful to her. We decided to buy him tea, he was very happy with that. Leaving San Francisco tomorrow and heading down the coast to San Simeon. Hopefully we don't have problems with fog tomorrow.

Day three and four in San Fran have passed so fast and I am so glad that I have decided to spend another week her in March. I haven't spent near enough time with my SF friends yet and there's still so much left to see. Monday morning Julie and I headed in to town and met Bobby for lunch. I started out the day being very optomistic that I could brave the cold enough to wear my jandals. Said bravery came to an abrupt halt after about 5 minutes in the SF cold. The day ...

This was the last day I spent with Larry and the Rosen gang in San Francisco. It's always nice to spend time with Larry and Mariana, they're great company and wonderful hosts. Their 2 young boys, Munchkin and Schmoopik (not their given names, but their 'operational' ones), are as entertaining as their appellations would ...

... Sausalito en bici cruzando el Golden Gate a lo Indurain. Y alli aparecimos con nuestras bicis, cascos, mapas y candados (lo tienen muy bien organizado) dispuestos a dejar bien alto el pabellon! Hombre, alto lo que se dice alto yo creo que no quedo: nos bajamos dos veces de la bici para subir las cuestas (Styrskys, estas cuestas si que no son EASIER:)), nos paramos a los 20 minutos a comer y con la excusa de las fotos nos deteniamos ...

... Be warned however, from my limited cigarette smoking experience, Chinese cigarettes are considerably stronger than American ones, and contain more even tar and nicotine. Most Chinese kiosks do sell "Marlboros," but 99% of them are just Chinese cigarettes in Marlboro packaging. If by chance you are looking to gain some face with Chinese men, bring a carton of real Marlboro cigarettes to distribute as gifts. Make sure the recipients know these Marlboros are the real ones, purchased ...

... Alcatraz. We docked on the island and were given the rules and watched a short film about the island. We then headed up to the cell house, which is like walking up a 13 story bulding. It was really eray being on the island. Included in the tour was a audio tour, which guided you through the cells, telling stories from the officers and inmates, with blood curdling sound effects. It was really good and you felt like you were there. Really interesting to ...

... an American Bittern. They are members of the heron family. This bird has the ugliest feet I ever did see. They are huge, yellow and have what look like claws. Really, the strangest feet on a bird I ever did see! Friday we drove north with the idea of going to the Russian River. Despite all the storms the river was pretty low. The ...

... we saw. Just outside of Bodega Bay we stopped to look at the coast at Arched Rock. Boy the ocean was really kicking up. Pretty soon we noticed a Coast Guard helicopter and two Coast Guard boats hanging around the area. They looked like they were searching and I'm pretty sure they were cuz a little farther up the road at Portuguese Beach there were a bunch of sheriffs cars. I doubt there was much chance of ...

... sunny fresh .. beachy whatsoever!! So all in all I cycled 20 km and almost hit one gay person who wasn't careful due to his well alcohol abuse :/ Anyway, I spent the evening at my neighbours as they invited me over for dinner. They had salmon yamyam. Plus, I baked my first own PUMPKIN PIE :D yeah yeah I`ve never seen pumpkin pie in germany :( thus I won`t be able to make it at home, therefore I have to eats lots of it here so much that I ...
