Today was an eventful day! We had a BIG breakfast close to the hotel. Then we had to walk to Marshall’s so I could buy a belt for the new jeans I got yesterday- on account it is so COLD! We decided to take the “One Hour Hop On/Off Trolley Tour.”

We started our tour at Union Square, the trolley took us to Pier 39. We spent a few hours there, visiting the stores, we saw a freaky magician guy. He did some tricks, then jammed a four inch nail in his nose and walked on glass! What a nut. We got back on the trolley which took us to Ghirardelli Square. There were a bunch of shops and restaurants. We found a place called, “Frijts Frites” a Belgian frites place- they weren’t that great or authentic. We of coarse had a sundae from the Soda Shop! We split one this time. Then we got back on the trolley that took us back to Union Square. We walked back to the hotel and I took a nap. Dan walked to the Mac store to “fix” his computer- I think he just wanted to play on it some more! After my “beauty sleep” I met Dan and we walked around some more and had dinner at a Sport’s Bar, after a short walk he had yet another Ghirardelli Sunday- but only one scoopers this time!

Today, we drove from Monterey to San Francisco. We started out by having breakfast in a French Bakery Restaraunt, the visiting Dennis the Menace Park then driving “Seventeen Mile Drive.”

17 Mile Drive was OK. We stopped a lot, taking pictures and video footage. Then we drove to Santa Cruz via Highway 1 and visited the boardwalk. That was an experience. We ate SO much crap… we felt ill. Finally we began the last part of our journey to San Francisco. We got a little lost, but finally we arrived at the correct hotel! After dinner and a walk around Union Square we retired for the evening! What a day…

Well, it’s my birthday- that’s another year gone by! Dan and I are in Monterey for the night.
We drove up today stopping at Corrale’s for breakfast, Arroyo Grande, Hearst’s Castle, the Elephant Seals on Highway 1 (we saw 2 males fighting!) and finally we visited Cannery Row in Monterey. It has been a FULL day. Oh, and we had dessert at Girhardelli’s. (sp?)
We are currently sitting in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency, both of us on our lap tops- we are such DORKS! At least we have each other!
