San Francisco, California

redwoods

We visited our best friends, BFFs if you will, Marla, Halie & Ramona.  Marla & Halie live in the mission district of San Francisco, and Ramona sleeps in Oakland.

We went on a day hike to Tamalpais State Park in Marin County.  Marin County sucks, but Tam State Park was great.

Getting to the park required a drive on the twisted, shoulderless, guard-rail-less, landslide prone, cliff-hanging Route 1.  It was scary-fun.

We felt like we were hobbits or gnomes.  Everything around us was SO BIG.

giant banana slug, or little gnome hand?

the whole gang

We had an impromptu thanksgiving feast of Quorn(R) turkey, cranberry, stuffing, gravy and apple pie.  But first we munched appetizers.  The wine flowed freely.

Eventually we thought it best to go on the Internet site "Chat Roulette."  There we made animal noises and held up my purse which is a doll's head fit into the felt body of an octopus (Octo-Baby).  Most people didn't know what had hit them, but we had a few fans.  One hipster serenaded us on the piano.  Some blonde sorority bimbos asked, "Are you guys Lesbians?  Are you Gay?"  We hollered in affirmation.

Went to Golden Gate Park.  Sanch climbed trees and several passerby stopped to take her picture and ask her questions, including me.

Returned to Tamalpais State Park to camp.  This time we brought Ramona.  We improved our existing campsite and practiced stringent "Leave No Trace" principles.  By that I mean we destroyed and left no evidence of our folly.  We got soaked but spirits stayed high.

Now we're heading down the coast.  Camping somewhere on BLM land tonight, then heading to Death Valley.  Next people stop: my cousin Eva in San Diego.
