San Francisco and meeting Julia

Sunday 22
Today we rode along part of california State highway 35. It runs along a ridgeline giving vies into the valley and out to sea. We rode past a place called Alice's Restaurant, a favourite stop for motorcyclists.  I'm disappointed I didn't stop for a photo.
If you have the time check out the 1967 song of the same name on by Arlo Guthrie on youtube. I don't think it has anything to do with this restaurant.
From there we went into San Francisco and rode on the hop on hop off bus. It took us across the Golden Gate Bridge and around the sites of San Fran central. The tour was meant to be 2 hours but took us more than 4.

Alcatraz Island


A clear day to see the Golden Gate Bridge.

Once out of the rush hour traffic we got onto the Bay Bridge, that was a cool ride. Overall today was cooler, we didn't need our cooling cloths at all! It is impersive how quickly the weather/temperatures chang as we go along. Out towards Sacramento to Julia's, where she welcomed us like royalty an fed us an amazing salmon dinner.

  2. Am massively disapointed that you took no photo of "Alice`s"
    I will soothe the emotion with a beverage.
