Next I went to San Francisco and Fort Funston where this was the scene
as we brought along the dogs who began with a drink
before we saw our first dog walkers with many
as we made our way down
the hillside
to the beach where the dogs could run free
with this great view
and against this backdrop
with even the man made structures
suitably decorated
though none was competitive with this sea rope
complete with bubbles
in its elegant layout
as Jacobo began preparations to launch the ball for the dogs to chase
even as the beach patrol arrived
and we eyed the path we would have to take back to the car
which made the sand all the more appealing
even as the dog walkers appeared with many under their control
|
but eventually we began our trek stopping for the occasional photo (and breath catching)
before we entered the hang gliding landing zone
as Jacobo made his way up the hill
and past the markers
though despite the sign, no one was landing at the moment
but I did record these signs
and some history
before I found the structures designed to repel both the Japanese and the Russians from our shores. Seems to have worked both times.
and some remarkable flowers
but still the hang gliding signs persisted
and so we headed down the coast to Pacifica where there were paragliders
and rocks, never a good combination
but the paragliders flew
as the dogs explored
and Jacobo
and then Barbara held them back
before this family photo was taken
even as the flights continued.
Next we made our way to the ugly pier
with lots of warning
and then on to Barbara's fishtrap in Princeton by the sea
where this was the beer I drank
and while in Half Moon Bay, I posed with the locals since Sarah wasn't there that day
and then after recording this sign for the collection, we called it a day.
That evening, I joined Sarah and Ed for a dinner that included this wonderfully presented dish.
