Before we got to the bridge a passenger from the front came and found us towards the back of the bus. She offered to let us sit in her seat, right beside the driver, she said it would be awesome for us to cross the bridge, it was just brilliant, and equally brilliant was her kindness and pride in her city.Jennyffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133651986287619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-77077346954115370192010-09-07T17:41:25.329-04:002010-09-07T17:41:25.329-04:00Pat

It's the stuff of movies!!! :-) And there it is - amazing. <br /><br />The fog really gives it some atmosphere.<br /><br />And thank you for introducing me to Sausalito!! I want to live there!! How lovely!! I like how it's overshadowed very nicely by the these bridges that are forever SF! Golden Gate and Bay! And I so agree!! Surrounded by this beautiful sea, the hills, the greenery - I really think you've been transported to some Mediterranean isle! The promenade walk is very pretty - look at those lovely houses!<br /><br />Awwww those lovely parrots!!!! I hope they are ok - the updates on the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill are up to 2007 - but I'm presuming this wonderful flock are still thriving. It's great to read that the two remaining cypress trees are being looked after for these birds. <br /><br />Wexlers sounds like it was the perfect place to end your wonderful day!!!<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-73583894328321474012010-09-07T06:39:06.519-04:002010-09-07T06:39:06.519-04:00Oh my how grand...I can remember spending our Sund...Oh my how grand...I can remember spending our Sundays in the city.

I just love the fog. It makes for such interesting shots, especially of the Golden Gate Bridge. Isn't Sausalito beautiful. It definitely reminds me of many Mediterranean ports, with its houses perched up on the hillside and flowering baskets <br />( and high prices ).<br /><br />I've never eaten at Wexler's and probably won't now, what with the job loss. It sounds fabulous. This is a city of outstanding restaurants and I have certainly enjoyed more than my share. It has been a joy living in this area for 33 years.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-37475899256930956242010-09-06T21:45:08.404-04:002010-09-06T21:45:08.404-04:00Fabulous trip, Pat!
