1st off, it should read "celebrate" not "celbrate", but I can't edit the title!
Hard to believe I have had my GTI for a year now. Thanks to a few thousand protesters in Oakland the other day, my office shut down and I had the day off. What better way to spend a georgeous day off than a drive to the beach, via San Francisco. It also gave me a chance to play with a new camera!
First off was a drive up wildcat canyon road which ends up on Grizzly Peak above Berkeley CA.
Seeing that it was a pretty clear day, I headed to the Presidio in San Francisco.
There is no way to park on a level ground down there
This fort dates back to the civil war.
After checking out the bridge and Alcatraz, it was time to head down the coast to Half Moon Bay for lunch.
After lunch I headed a bit further south to Pescadero State Beach, wehre I took the GTI when it was brand new for pictures. The seagull seemed impressed.
Being a weekday, I still had to beat rush hour traffic, plus its getting dark earlier and earlier. Everyone should try to drive the coast highway (CA1) at least once in their lives.
Finally it was over the Golden Gate and back to reality and work the next day...sigh. Do notice though, the temp on the 2nd of November!
It was fun while it lasted
