Road Trip 2k10 San Francisco

Here we go with round two from our trip and heading into San Francisco.

Fled Red Bluff since it was on track to hit 107 degrees that day and it was hot most of the way.  As we approached Vallejo, we spotted the Marine layer and knew we were in for some classic chilly summer San Francisco fun.

Sunflower farm as we bypassed Sacramento...


Another farm landscape shot (lots of Hay around this time of year)...


Met up with Phredd and Sonia and headed straight to our favorite Oyster Bar in the country...


Definitely worth the wait (about 45 minutes).  We both had Dungeness Crab Cocktails, split a dozen mixed up Miyagi oysters, Smoked Salmon on Bread and of course, an ice cold Anchor Steam on draft.


Funny about the beer situation.  While we were eating, a southern good ole boy stepped up to the bar to order a beer while he and his wife waited and asked what they had.  The server mentioned Anchor Steam (SF's local Brewer for God's sake) and the guy kinda grumbled if they had any American beers like a Budweiser.  The server then naturally replied that Budweiser is actually a Belgium company.  I don't think the guy heard him but, that was righteous.  He ended up getting a Stella Artois and a Bud light.  Both Belgium Beers!

Next up, Zeitgeist, to hang out with Mimi and Pete...


Fawzi and Josie partying at Heather's pad...


Thanks Heather and Doug for letting us crash at your place.  It worked out perfectly!

Well, we had a blast in SF as usual but, it was freezing cold as usual too.
