From Twin Peaks

Spot the Golden Gate Bridge, yes, we’re back in California, in San Francisco.
 
We drove down to Albuquerque in glorious light with sun shining the peaks and the groves of aspen turning gold.    Long wait at the airport before a rather bumpy flight to San Francisco.  The domestic airport is nice with good shops and cafes and we were about to settle down to a late lunch when we remembered our suitcases so legged it to pick them up.  

Drove into town and on the way V took us up Twin Peaks to look at the bay view and the Golden Gate Bridge (mid left of this not particularly distinguished picture).  Then drove to V’s friends Larry and Lisa where we’d been expecting to stay but they thought we were just having dinner and had their daughter staying.  Mad scramble for a hotel and got a room in the hotel we are moving into tomorrow. .   

Lovely Chinese dinner, always good Chinese food in SF and then drove over to Sausalito to our hotel which was slightly soulless but even in the dark we could see it had an amazing position .  Hope the view’s good! 

Oh and on the way back to the car I visited my first legal cannabis shop.  It was very shiny and pop-y with a warm welcome.  No one was in there and Lisa told us that the taxes are so high that after the initial enthusiasm most people are still buying it illegally.   Reader I did not purchase.
