Winding this road up!

Lots of pictures to catch up. After San Francisco we headed on down to Monterey. Drove through some hot weather and then fair weather in Monterey. We stayed at the Fairgrounds. Good price, $50 compared to most of the rv sites around town for about $90 to $100.
This is Pebble Beach golf course. Beautiful spot.

These little guys are floating on shore. Velalla Velalla, By the wind sailor. I think we had a number of them in So Cal recently.

Cute little cottage on the golf course, Pebble Beach!

Beautiful seaside.

Sterling silver club and balls with Champions names on each ball.

The Bench cocktail on the 18th hole.


Wasn't quite open at 10 a.m., but the gate wasn't locked!


Walking the pier in Monterey.

We left Monterey Fairgrounds this morning and took Highway 1 along the coast. The scenery was beautiful along the way. Unfortunately Jack couldn't see any of it due to the winding road, cliffs and hills. 






It appears they have made up for the hillside falling on to the road! Amazing.

This is Piers Blancas Light Station. Illuminated in 1875. Located 6 miles north of Hearst Castle.

Sea lions on the shore near San Simion.

Morro Rock at Sunset. This is where we are spending our next night.

Bentley at the beach at Morro.

From the camp ground they have built a bridge over the creek. We can walk to town now!

A bag piper was playing as the sun set. Last song, Amazing Grace. Beautiful ending of the day.


Morro Bay.

San Francisco sites...

After spending a fun day in the city yesterday, Jack and I heard the San Mateo County Fair was on...so off we went to the fair. Mom stayed in. Oh boy, this was a tiny fair. Beautiful quilts entered, probably the largest display there.

This was the vegetable entries.

Today we headed back to the city. Fog was still rolling around the Bay bridge this morning. The temperature did get up to 78 in SF today...

Beautiful day. The Farmers market was going on by the Ferry Building.

Then off to the Hop on Hop off bus tour.

Yes we are all having fun!

Cable cars lined up.

Architecture around the city is beautiful.




City Hall dome.

The statue at the top of the Dewey Monument. Alma Spreckles was the model for this.

Awww Chinatown and it's amazing sights. Octopus and ducks and chickens.

Jack fruit.

Lunch at The Bund. Dim sum, buns...

General Tso Chicken


View of Chinatown!


Gates to Chinatown, gift from China in 1969.
