Well, we saw some clouds today. We saw them high in the sky, light and fluffy (not in Palo Alto). And then we saw the fog. Oh, the fog. Turns out it really does roll in, but not to Palo Alto, we were in San Francisco. The fog rolled in during the early afternoon over the water (I think we were near the the mouth of the SF Bay) we were by Fisherman's Wharf which seems to be at the northern tip of SF. That pillar way off in the distance is the Golden Gate Bridge. I am not quite sure how the fog effects the drivers on the bridge. It doesn't seem like a good situation to me ????






Then as we were driving south on 280, heading back to Palo Alto, the fog was on the highway though not nearly as thick as it was by the water. The fog above us was so thick that for the first time since we arrived, the sun was not visible. That was about 4 p.m. It lasted, well I don't really know how long it lasted as we continued our drive and within 10 minutes we were again under the merciless cloudless sky.



So we did drive to SF. First we crossed the bay by Palo Alto and then headed up towards Oakland, stopping along the way to cruise some potential nursing schools. The volume of traffic was high but we didn't hit any severe back ups. This was the first time all week that we were actually on a highway. Truthfully, I could skip 'em. So, we drove through Oakland and then over the Bay Bridge. Not a stunningly beautiful ride but it did offer a lovely view of SF. Then we had the great pleasure of driving around in SF. The goal was to ride a cable car, but having done no research whatsoever on where a girl might pick up a cable car we followed the signs to Fisherman's Wharf. The Girl had been there before and said I would like it. Turns out she was right. Us at Ghirardelli Square.



Peace
