Majestic Muir Woods

We hiked about 4 miles through the Redwood Forest on the Dipsea Trail. Then a short stop to numb our feet at Stinson beach. Onto Berkeley... /p>

What's for lunch??

Crab! This work of art came from Boudin's Bakery on Fisherman's Wharf who specializes in sourdough bread. Almost too incredible to eat.

Cable Cars

A stop to the Cable Car Museum in the morning where we learned about sheaves and grips. An all day pass to ride to our hearts content. Canvassing the city and seeing many sights
Just learned how fortune cookies are made...

The Toth's and the Tech

thetech.org

We had a wonderful visit with the Toth family! The Tech Museum was "awesome" as summed up by Nicholas (high praise from a 12 year old!).  We designed rollercoasters (see the photo), controlled Mars rovers, constructed wind turbines, composed music and so much more. The day was followed by a delicious Hungarian meal and scintillating conversation about Facebook, education, government regulation and diet. Thank you Gitta, Gabor, Peter, Eszter, and Judit for your warm hospitality and friendship. We enjoyed every moment with you!

Good morning San Francisco

Nothing like Bay Area fog to totally crush the stereotypical thinking of sunny California! We walked across the Golden Gate Bridge this morning surrounded by fog. We saw a huge container ship passing underneath partially obscured by the fog. Very cool. On our way to spend the day with our dear friends, the Toths...
