Mom and Dave Leaving

Hello! It's a cool foggy morning here in the Bay Area. I got up around 8 AM and had breakfast. I killed out

Where I Had Coffee

with my mom Marsha's father well John got ready for work and Marsha had an interview. Today's the day

or I'm going to Rent-A-Car and explore now Pam and then the  Muir Forest. They are about an hour away by car I even

Marin County

checked public transportation but that was over three hours each way. The local budget Rent-A-Car 3 feet

Scenic Route

from the house with book to 1 o'clock so I took a bus in the downtown Berkeley and found an Avis and they had a cough for $67 inclusive.  The ride wasn't bad at all probably be because

Entrance to Mt. Tam

it's a Monday. I drove up the mountain Pam and it was

My Trip

pretty cool even though it was pretty well fogged over. Looks like the fog starting to burn off as of 12:55 AM. I didn't realize but I really wasn't on Mt. Tam yet when I took this previous pictures. Somebody

give me some guidance and now I

Atop Mt.  Tam

know what they're talking about the views I have about a half mile hike.

A View from  Mt Tam

Which I would take my sweet time climbing up so I don't hurt myself. Good to have question sometimes.

A Nice View

Well the hike was well worth it. The fog was clearing up and I got a ton of really cool looking pictures.

Where I Was

At Mt Tam

I took my sweet time coming down and I had another drink with my credit card. I then headed to the Muir Forrest.

Posing Near a Large Tree

It has those huge redwood trees. You're not the super giant trees but they're pretty darn

big.It was really pretty and I'm glad it went during the week because it was quieter than it

would've been.There were some people who just didn't understand to be quiet when walking through a really cool forest.

This is my first time going and I understood that. So I went up to the upper trails to get away

Love These Trees

from the babies and the baby carriages. At one point one woman was singing. I was relieved that that stopped. I was able to enjoy just being quiet and solitary as I looked up at the majestic 

Cool

trees. I have to really cut down my number of photos since 

The Trail

I took about 50 at least. I finally left around 6 o'clock and it is now 6:38

Muir Forrest

PM I'm going to head to a restaurant called 54 Mint. Larry maintained that his friend Jose it was a manager

The Coolest Part

there, was working there. When I called about 625, the woman stated that he was not working this evening.

An Upper Trail

I told Larry and Larry texted him. I am in Elmer Marin County and I'm gonna head into San Francisco towards the

Ferns

restaurant and wait to hear from Larry. Then I'm going to find someplace to chow down. Well, I had

to pull over and take care some business while in Sausalito. Well I spent 15 minutes attempting to pay

Muir Forrest

for the toll in advance because they don't have cash lines on the Golden Gate Bridge. Yeah I'm not going

Driving Towards the Golden Gate

to eat there by myself if he's not there it would be silly. Turns out it was a simple misunderstanding. I

came home and hung out with John's roommate Marsha and talk for a little while and chow down on pasta.

San Francisco

It was quite yummy my homemade food. I had so many pictures that I took that it'll probably take an hour to

Larry's Friend's Restaurant

sift through them and have enough room on this blog to fit them all in. I'm hoping I can stay and talk to some

Inside 54 Mint

of the people I met here. So if I ever do decide to move out here in six years hence, I don't leave I have

Excellent Pasta Plate

something going on here. I just needed that be an option that is all. I will let fate and life situation determine the out.
