We are at it again. We cycled 1200 miles down the coast of Oregon, into California, over the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco. Then it was a ferry across the bay to Vallejo and a lovely side trip up the Napa Valley to Callestoga. That was the end of the bike portion of our trip.

San Francisco

We arrived in San Francisco Sunday afternoon.  The skies were blue and the wind was blowing as we cycled across the Golden Gate.  I would have liked to stop and take a few pictures, but the cycling lane on the bridge was packed with what seemed like millions of tourists who had rented bicycles so they could also cycle across the bridge.  It was quite a scene with no roon to stop and "pull over".  Foolishly I thought I would come back today and take some pictures from the pedestrian lanes on the bridge.  The fog rolled in yesterday afternoon and never quite left today, so no blue sky pictures of the SF Bay today.  Maybe tomorrow.

We leave tomorrow for Sonoma wine country before heading over to Sacramento for a visit with Dave's relatives.  We hear the sun is shining just a few miles to the east of here!

The Northern California coast was rugged and beautiful and foggy!  There may be a massive heat wave everwhere else in the country, but the Pacific coast has had it's coldest and foggiest summer in recent memory!  We did have moments of sunshine which were greatly appreciated!  All for now.
