Yesterday we said our goodbyes to Sarah, Joey and SBJ. It was great being able to spend so much time with them. They’re very fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful area. Sure there are the occasional fires, heat waves (most homes don’t have AC), and earthquakes but who doesn’t have to deal with a few minor inconveniences every once in a while? Speaking of earthquakes, there was a magnitude 4.4 quake the other night. Beth and I slept through it but it did wake up Sarah, Joey and James.
Getting from their place to San Francisco was fun. We took the Blue & Gold ferry from Tiburon to Pier 41. Our hotel was just a couple of hundred yards from the ferry terminal. This was very convenient and appreciated since the weather was a bit rainy. This is our third time in SF in the last eight months. Little did we know when we were here last May that the Bay Area would soon be home to the Martin family.....pretty cool!
We recently purchased something that is quite interesting. It’s called Movie Pass. I won’t go into details, you can research it yourself. If you enjoy going to the movies occasionally you may want to check it out. Since getting it we’ve seen many of the Christmas releases (we’re not Star Wars people). We really enjoyed “All the Money”, “Darkest Hour” and “Molly’s Game”. We also thought “Shape of Water” was about the strangest thing we’ve every seen. Sex with the Creature from the Black Lagoon.....seriously?
So we walked about a mile and a half to the theater to see Molly’s Game. We ended up in the Marina District which is west of the touristy Fisherman’s Wharf area where we were staying. We liked it a lot. When we looked it up it was described as one of San Francisco’s hippest and trendiest neighborhoods. Clearly that made us hip and trendy, at least for a few hours.
It’s now Saturday afternoon. Today has been a combination of city and trail walking. It’s taken us to the Land’s End/Ocean Beach area. Lot’s of miles and hills and spectacular views along the way.
Pretty cool that we were staring at the Pacific Ocean an hour ago and tomorrow we’ll be cruising the Atlantic Ocean.......beats working!
