The intrepid explorers set off for Sausolito this morning to find some sunshine
without the wind. It was my turn to drive today, so Andrew was very brave and fearless, as
I've never driven abroad before! We went over the Golden Gate Bridge and it was a
beautiful day. We parked up and strolled down past the Marina, there are some lovely
yachts here. The Galleries are pretty unusual too, we found one selling Red Indian jewelry
and crafts, another sold amazing designer glass work and one selling humorous oil
painting, as well as the usual art gallery type stuff. We had lunch at S'comas - red clam
chowder and prawn sandwiches, and steam beer. Wandered around some more, bought Andrew a
really good T-shirt and a Gardenia for my hair and a yellow peace lily for the vase in our
cute little red Beetle! We zoomed back over the bridge and up to the Legion of Honor for a coffee and some culture (John
Cupitt's recommendation on things to do in S.F.) Well worth it to it's a beautiful old
building full of incredible paintings including 3 Monets, loads of sculptures and pottery
etc. and an organist playing classical music live to accompany your meanderings. Leaving
there we drove down to Seal Rock where we'd booked dinner at the Cliff House restaurant
with beautiful sea views (see yesterday's Seal Rock pic. for photo) The first European
type meal we have had here, Tuna Sushi, Sturgeon medallions and pear crumble for Andrew.
Smoked salmon, rack of lamb and tiramisu for me - both totally yummy and with lovely wine
and a vintage port for Andrew! A gourmet feast what! Back to the hotel for more wine, as I
have to have my intake as I was driving! Toto is learning English fast now and Andrew has
a passable U.S.A. accent. Signing off for tonight y'all speak to you tomorrow.
