Last weekend was the weekend. I would have written sooner but I'm sick as a dog, and GD has the pics in the camera with him as he stays the rest of the week.
It was a wonderful weekend. Mousepod and his lovely wife are excellent hosts. We had what I considered perfect representative weather for the region - nice on Saturday and rainy on Sunday. We looked at the Golden Gate, saw some cable cars, bumped into a whole group of dirty hippies (what do you call a group of hippies - a gaggle?) and once again reaffirmed that DCA only makes California look like sht.
Our guides kindly shuttled us along most of the 49 Mile Scenic Drive and pointed out sights. GD got to drive Lombard Street, in the rain, and in Mousepod's car. Funny stuff.
We drove through China Town and stopped at Fisherman's Wharf for a walk around. There we saw lots and lots of sea lions vying for a spot in the sun at the docks. We stepped into the
Musee Mechanique and dropped quarters into many different machines from the past century. So many whimsical devices!
I want € to know that we stayed up until 2am on Saturday watching
Black Orpheus. Great film.
When we get the pics back set up we'll Rank the Swank on this amazing restaurant we visited called
Foreign Cinema. One of the best meals we've ever had.
That's all I have the mind for at the moment...
