Muir forest May 17, 2008

ok so on my way to stinson beach while i was in sf it was rediculously hot, but i had the top off the jeep so that helped jk, we took the long way to the beach through the forest. The sites as you drive through the forrest are unforgetable. It really reminded me of being on a 2-track going through the mountains. That is with the exceptiong of it being paved and going by small towns on the way. It was crazy beautiful and i recommend the drive to everyone. To get there just follow the sign from the 1 and you can also end up in stinson beach which isnt a bad place either.

So the city is beautiful but the hills can be a challenge. Members of Sean's family live in the Bay area and his parents flew down so we were really given the local's perspective. It was an incredible trip. We went to Muir Woods Na…trip. We went to Muir Woods National Monument and saw the redwoods. They were incredible. It was very quiet too. The ground was soft with tree needles the trees blotted out the sun. it was very cool inside the forest. … San Francisco

I left my heart in Fat Sam's disco ... or was that San Francisco? Thus crooned Tony Bennett. I can certainly see why. SF is a very compact city by American standards and is extremely walkable (well apart from all those steep hills). I stayed in the …Muir Woods (remember the Wookies scene in Star Wars? ) the next day. Sausalito was also the home to Alan Watts one of my favourite philosophers, who lived there on a houseboat before he died in the early 70s. He wrote about Man's effect on the ecology… The place where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars ...

Second day in san francisco, and we boarded a boat embarking on a trip to Alcatraz Island, home to an old maximum security jail, no longer in operation today. We almost didn't make it b/c of heavy traffic. If you visit during peak season make sur…Muir Woods, part of the golden gate recreation area. I left my keys in front seat of the rental car after I had locked it, and thank goodness the trunk was still unlocked and I crawled into retrieve them. Oopsie.
