The coastal portion of the trip begins

Today we continued our journey west, stopping for campus tour of Stanford University. It's still a bit early for Cece and college but since we were in the area... why not? Stanford has quite an impressive campus and we learned a lot about the university. After the tour, we had a nice lunch outside of the Stanford art museum and then hit the road toward San Francisco.

We arrived in San Fran to cross the Golden Gate Bridge stopping for some photos of the bay area. Then it was on to the John Muir Woods for a cool and peaceful walk through the magnificent redwoods.

We worked up quite an appetite from our walking so off to Sausalito we went for dinner. We had a fine meal in a restaurant with a great view of the water and the city in the background. From the window, we spotted a seal who decided to entertain the patrons, making appearances from time to time. 

The day culminated in a stay in Pacifica, just south of San Fran. Tonight we rest in our ocean-view room... windows open... the sound of the waves... a cool breeze.
