Next I went to San Francisco and Fort Funston where this was the scene ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030487 as we brought along the dogs who began with a drink ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030488 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030489 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030490 before we saw our first dog walkers with many ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030491 as we made our way down ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030492 the hillside ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030493 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030494 to the beach where the dogs could run free ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030495 with this great view ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030496 and against this backdrop ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030497 with even the man made structures ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030498 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030499 suitably decorated ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030500 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030501 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030502 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030503 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030504 though none was competitive with this sea rope ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030505 complete with bubbles ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030506 in its elegant layout ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030507 as Jacobo began preparations to launch the ball for the dogs to chase ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030508 even as the beach patrol arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030509 and we eyed the path we would have to take back to the car ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030510 which made the sand all the more appealing ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030511 even as the dog walkers appeared with many under their control ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030512 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030513 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030514 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030515 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030516 but eventually we began our trek stopping for the occasional photo (and breath catching) ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030517 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030518 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030519 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030520 before we entered the hang gliding landing zone ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030521 as Jacobo made his way up the hill ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030522 and past the markers ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030523 though despite the sign, no one was landing at the moment ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030524 but I did record these signs ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030525 ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030526 and some history ../../../Sabbat/2013/06.03-21.13GraduationAndBirthdays//P1030527 before I found the structures designed to repel both the Japanese and the Russians from our shores.
