Slept in this morning, no point in getting up early just to get caught in rush hour traffic going into the city. I crossed the golden gate bridge about 11:00 AM or so. It was sunny and warm when I left Santa Rosa but it was freezing when I got to the bridge.
From there I took 19th ave through the city to highway one and continued down into Pacifica.
I stopped at the bakery there for a creme horn but GASP!!, they were out! The bakery there has the best Italian creme horns and I was really looking forward to one. Oh well. On to the old homestead. The house and neighborhood looks the same as it did when we left in 1987. For that matter, most of Pacifica is the same. There were a few minor things, the theatre is gone, the Central market is gone and converted into a group of smaller shops.
From Pacifica I headed down toward Half Moon Bay. I thought they had bypassed devils slide but the work isn't anywhere near done yet. In fact, they haven't even started boring the tunnel. From the looks of things, it will be ten more years before the slide area is bypassed.
After a lunch stop in Half Moon Bay I headed east on Highway 92 then turned south onto skyline blvd. Skyline is a really nice twisty road that runs the hilltops all the way down to the santa clara valley. Beautiful ride.
I met up with Dick & Sheila (and Fritz) for a visit and quick bite. Nice to see them and meet Fritz. From there I took the quick trip into Santa Clara and landed and Dan & Tuks house around 7:00 or so. I plan to stay parked here until at least Sunday.
