Day 26. Golden Gate Bridge and Monterey




We hopped on US 101 and headed for Monterey.  Maybe we took a wrong turn, but we were surprised to ride over the Golden Gate Bridge.  We really liked that the fog was rolling over the bridge, not so bad that you couldn’t see but enough that it looked cool.  Then we drove through downtown San Francisco.  We’d both been to San Francisco before (me with two work buddies) and had seen the street cars, the hilly streets, and Fisherman Wharf so we didn’t have a burning desire to go again.  But it was nice to get a little taste treat by driving over the bridge and through the city.



When I was still working, there was a conference held on several occasions in Monterey.  I never went so I was interested in seeing the town.  We arrived at the fish market after it had closed, but did go to the wharf and dock area.  We enjoyed seeing the sea lions and Charlie was able to get some nice fresh oysters.  We had fun.
