and these mushrooms
which the rooster seemed to enjoy.
Arlene gave me a goof plug
which, unfortunately, I didn't install tightly enough.
Before leaving Napa, we went for a walk and came upon this rooster which was different from the rooster the day before
and these mushrooms
which the rooster seemed to enjoy.
Arlene gave me a goof plug
which, unfortunately, I didn't install tightly enough.
We then made our way to Sonoma where we parked the car
and recorded the end of the mission trail (after 300 years)
at this historic site.
We had intended to go to the girl and the fig as we did 6 years ago but unfortunately it was closed
and so we went across the way where this was the corn soup
and Suzanne's salad
and my sandwich.
We then drove off to San Francisco where I recorded this license plate for the collection.
Next day, we went for a short shopping trip down Market Street where we saw these in a Japanese bakery window
and then stopped in Union Square to see where someone had left their heart
but this was all preliminary to the stop at Nordstrom's
where these were the hash tagged signs.
We then walked down the street past the cigar store Indian
and the cigar statue
before we got to the restaurant where we met Linda for dim sum and these are some of the things we ate.

and then walked by the Ferry Building where we saw this trolley blocked by a truck that was hopefully doing repairs
and we then recorded Coit Tower
and the Bay Bridge
not to mention Steuart (spelled correctly) street
as we made our way to Bar333
which had this interesting logo
and were joined by Sarah
so that we could go to the heirloom cafe where these were the salads
and my soup
before the main courses came
followed by this cookie.
We then went to the local bar where Suzanne tasted (and disliked) sour beer.
On Saturday, I recorded these succulents
and then there was a collection of cable cars which I recorded
before we made our way towards the Ferry Building and I recorded this sign for the collection
as Suzanne waited for Sarah and Ed at the Slanted Door
while I recorded myself against the backdrop of the Bay Bridge
as Sarah and Ed arrived
and so we could begin our meail
whith Sarah and Ed
Suzanne
and me
as the food came

before recording this old license plate for the collection
and the rules of Alcatraz

After a failed attempt
I recorded this selfie of the four of us
and then we went to see the sea lions

though this crowd
and the people in the boat were more interested in the sea lions.
Next, we came upon Doggie Diner
and eventually we were above Fort Mason
and so we went down and recorded images of runners getting prepared to take their marks
including Ed
and Sarah
who were not elites and were not crazy enough to think of doing the ultra
and so we made our way outside to the shoe design
before stopping for drinks with interesting labels.
After a break, we went to dinner at the Park Tavern and started with drinks
and deviled eggs
along with crispy lemon with barrata
and crispy brussel sprouts
to accompany the flower on our table
before a second round of drinks were ordered
to go with the rest of the meal.

Sunday was marathon day and so we went to the finish line
at the point where fast runners were going to finish teh half marathon
and watched the runners come in
as well as the fallen signs
and the cheering crowd
as runners passed
and the Bay bridge stood oblivious
while the race proceeded
until we saw our 3 favorite runners
and bypassed the Claire squares
on our way to Giordano Brothers
where I did not do well at recording the pictures on the wall
before our beer arrived
along with sandwiches.
After lunch we stopped at City Lights and so had to record Jack Kerouac
and the alleyway
along with a memory of him
as Suzanne and I made our way back to our hotel
stopping to record the sight where the Pony Express was.
