SanFrancisco the City by the Bay

Here wa are in the suprisingly beautiful botanical gardens of SanFrancisco.


SanFrancisco is one of those citys that people love to visit. I really enjoy the place, but I would not want to live there (too crowded). We drove up and down highway 1 North and South from Sanfrancisco. One part of this drive we have decided to call "the death drive." We say this because you are driving down this road, and the edge of a shear cliff is two feet from you. Wine country is an absolute must. The entire area is one giant vineyard. Drive up through Napa Valley, and Sonoma Valley and you will be rewarded with beautiful scenery, and wine tasting (if that is your thing). We also spent the better part of two days in Monterey California. This city is fantastic. It has some of the most beautiful coastal scenery anywhere. That is also where Peeble Beach is. Finally we spent several hours in Muir Woods. This ancient forrest is host to a grove of coastal redwoods. These are some of the most impressive trees I have ever seen.


Words on
"The Death Drive": We were driving along highway 1 from Muir Woods to the city. Suddnely you come out to the coast, and you are driving a matter of a few feet from the edge of a shear cliff. It was one of the most beautiful drives we went on the whole trip, but it was scarry. I was too concerned with driving to enjoy the view. My wife got to enjoy the drive, being the passenger and all. It was scary, but well worth it.
