San Fran and Half Moon Bay

I decided to escape from a very busy and stressful month of work by heading to the California coast with Alexander on his business trip. We managed to pack in a weekend in San Francisco, exploring China town, little Italy and seeing the main sites such as the curviest street. The weather was perfect and we had a blast cruising around in a cherry red VW bug - so fun!!

Before checking in at the RC in Half Moon Bay where Alexander is attending a leadership conference, we headed to Muir Woods for a long hike (man my legs are sore - note to self: bring hiking boots next time) that was mainly climbing and winding through the beautiful red woods. It was truly amazing! (Photo courtesy: National Park Service)

After checking in, we had a fabulous meal of raw oysters, a very creative sushi roll (Hawaii 5-0) that was actually something to write home about (I am not usually a roll fan) and mussels and clams in a white wine sauce at Crab Landing. I was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend it. Today and tomorrow I am working from the hotel room and hoping to get in a good workout and a massage before I head back to reality....
