My husband and I are flying to San Francisco tomorrow for a week long bicycle trip with some friends of ours and joining about 30 others. We will cycle on average 45 miles per day with one day being 67. But since it is a "ride" not a "race", we have plenty of time to enjoy the scenery! I am so excited that Sunday we get to ride over the Golden Gate Bridge. How fun is that? I have driven over a zillion times but this perspective will be a real treat!
We will ride up the coast along Hwy. 1. I wonder if we will see some sunflowers?
I hope one of the bungalows we get to stay in looks like this!

Back on the bike and head out for another day.
Wine and cheese at night...mmmm!
Cafe in the morning before riding again!
I wonder if we will get some time for shopping?
Lunch at an outdoor cafe?
I love PINK!
After a week of riding, a grand hotel like this will be in place! Those bougainvilleas are just gorgeous.
Back to San Francisco, pack up the bikes send back to Georgia, and then go sight seeing on this PINK vespa!

Dear Renae,
ReplyDeleteThank you for missing me! I have been very busy with so many things and so many people! I did drop Fifi a little missive today about the whole book fiasco and am looking forward to seeing which heads will roll as a result of my very small inquiries into the matter. It will be fun!
What a lovely surprise to visit you and see so much of Fifi's lovely work gracing your page! She is a talent sent to us by the Gods!
Sincerly,
Petunia

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful trip. Enjoy the sights and the breeze off of the big beautiful Pacific!
I celebrated my 40th in SF & we stayed at Hotel Monaco, a small boutique hotel near union square, also loved shopping on Maiden Lane.
Just love that city!
We will look forward to your wonderful stories when you return.
Be safe & bike on!
