San Francisco

 Howdy from San Francisco.

We  had a good, but long flight from Lisbon arriving 2.30pm and after clearing customs and immigration we were free to enter the USA.


Off we went on the airporter bus to San Rafael. Great to go over the Golden Gate bridge and see the city  and harbour and all the kite boarders zipping around on the water under the bridge. It was 2am on our Spanish body clock but we tried to stay awake as long as possible to get into local time sleeping 👍
 

Lovely walk around the little Loch Lomond marina and the world's greatest bait store😁. The heron helping himself to the live fish bait tanks was fun to watch.


 
A few days of acclimation in San Rafael with travel tasks - foreign exchange and SIM card purchase (expensive compared to Europe) and then Friday we had a fantastic evening at the Black Star Pirate BBQ at Point San Pablo Harbour in Richmond.


Such a fun quirky little spot, right on the water, groovy outdoor seating and music and delicious smoke house BBQ.




Lots of sculpture around the  property and pretty plantings.






Great boat houses too.


It's a holiday weekend here, 4th of July and we'll put on our hiking shoes and see what exploring we can get up too😊.
