Day Two
Yesterday, Candi & Brian met the Pacific. We drove there through my snooty neighborhood, passing the houses used for the exteriors in “Party of Five” and “Mrs. Doubtfire”, through Seacliff, and then to Ocean Beach.
When you get near the ocean, the pine trees are bent backwards and slope away from the shore from years of wind and weather, looking very dramatic. It was bright and sunny, no hint of fog, though a little windy. Brian wasted no time in taking off his shoes and socks and experiencing the Pacific up close and personal. I think it was a little colder than he expected. And when we took a picture of Candi and Brian on the beach, the ocean, in its perfidious way, snuck up and surprised them, though fortunately they didn’t get very wet. John’s right, you just can’t trust the ocean!
Drove through Golden Gate Park and then out to 19th Avenue, whic leads to the Golden Gate Bridge. We crossed the famous bridge and paused at Vista Point to take pictures and admire the view. I am almost certainly prejudiced, having fallen in love with this place so many years ago, but I think that this is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And nowhere else looks like it.
