Infinity on the road: October 23, Saturday

This morning was just overcast so we struck out for parts south. Our first time to drive over the Golden Gate Bridge ourselves! Was not as rough as we had first thought! Anyway, we proceeded over the bridge and down Highway # 1 along the coast to places like San Bruno, Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, Pomponio Beach, Pigeon Point, Davenport, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Pebble Beach and Carmel (Remember Clint Eastwood was the Mayor). While it was overcast, we were lucky that we had no rain, so were able to enjoy the coastal drive. Once in Carmel, we drove

Ocean Avenue

past soooo many shops and soooo many people! We took a pass on the “17 Mile Scenic route” to Pebble Beach Golf course because of weather, but, are planning to do that Monday-Tuesday. Thanks Bonnie Jean for letting us know the golf fees at Pebble Beach are $530 each for a round; we might do the $11.00 glass of wine!! We also want to return to Santa Cruz and do the beach boardwalk.

We hadn’t left Larkspur till 11am thinking we would just drive THE bridge, but here we are about a 150 miles south down the coast! So we decided to go back on the 101 to the #85 to the #1 and back into Larkspur which turned out to be 140 miles. So by 5:30 we were doing Happy Hour and glad for it! We had rain all the way back so it was a tough 2 ½ hour ride in what turned out to be a 350 mile day!

Nice talking to you Carol and Larry isn’t Skype a wonderful thing!

It has not stopped raining all evening, just what California needs is rain, so I guess we should not complain…

Hugs,
