We ate breakfast in Eureka,after deciding whether or not we should eat in the "charming" farmers market or not-we decided on Denny's. We drove through the Avenue of the Giants in California. It was a forest full of GIANT redwood trees. We saw a tree that survived someone trying to cut it down, a forest fire, and it was struck by lightning; it was well over 1000 years old! We also drove through a STILL LIVING tree...like drove through it:it was huge! The roads were so windy, and the tall trees covered any light from the sky! Then, we drove all along the coast to Mendocino. There, we had a very lovely, sophisticated dinner at the Mendocino café where I had muscles and oisters over a wine sauced pasta. It was a very artsy town. We finaly got to San Francisco and made it through the low gas scramble, the hills, the parking situation, the golden gate bridge at night, the strange people, and the luggage hasle. Now, we're ready for a good time!
