We arrived into San Francisco on the evening of Dec 24, after our 17 hour train journey from Salt Lake City. I love this city….and I know that’s a cliché! But – this is one my favorite cities in the world to visit. It has so much to offer and it’s unlike any other city that I know of. Xavier flew in late that evening, and we all caught up properly the following morning at Lori's Diner.
We HAD to do all the touristy things. That's what San Fran is all about. We did the cable car, Lombard Street, Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Embarcadero. We saw most of those sites by taxi!! Our cab driver was cool too....let us jump out on the side of the Highway to get some sweet pics of the Golden Gate bridge and San Fran. Big thanks to Buddy and Ashley for showing me that spot on one of my previous visits!
We parted company with Quentin on the 27th, and Xavier also went to catch up with some family friends. Margot and I rented a car to drive down to Santa Barbara for Craig and Ashley's wedding, which was fast approaching. We met up with Noah in Monterey and had dinner on the Fisherman's Wharf there with him. We left for Santa Barbara the next morning.
We did the Pacific Coast Highway, Route 1, to get to Santa Barbara. In fact, we followed it all the way from San Francisco. Such a beautiful stretch of road that spans most of the west coast of California. You're literally driving along the coastline most of the time, except for when you go through the mountains with extremely curvy roads. So curvy in fact, that Margot got pretty bad car-sickness! We caught this all on film, so you the observer can be right there when it happened!
We've uploaded two movies here. One of San Fran and one of the Pacific Coast Highway. The next stop on this journey was Santa Barbara and Craig & Ashley's wedding. We got A LOT of footage from that, so we'll be working on putting something together over the coming days......stay tuned!!.........
