- There was lots of sugar but no honey
- We did in fact see a moon. And it was pretty frickin' cool too
- Pacifica is beautiful
- The giant, disgusting things washed up on the beach reconfirmed my fear of the ocean
- My love for red wine is more like a sick obsession.
- My love for cheese is just as bad
- People in Cali are either really nice, really weird or use sarcasm as a scape goat for rudeness...I on the other hand have only ever done that once.
- Signs asking people to conserve water don't work.
- Sarcastic signs asking people to conserve water don't work either.
- Alcatraz, even in the light of day in the company of hundreds of people complete with a standard-useless-crap-you'll-never-use-that-says-Alcatraz -on-it-souvenir-shop, is a freaky fuckin' place.
- I may have seen Sammy Hagar's car and I didn't really care but I took a picture anyway cause that's the touristy thing to do.
- Telling someone that they have a nice dog can turn into a very ironic conversation about how the fire we caught a pic of on the hillside behind our hotel was the first fire in that town in over 28 years only to return home days later, turn on the news and discover that a better part of the entire state was now on fire.
- People in Ontario smoke way too much and people in California run too much. 2 very different ways of dealing with fire.
- And last but not least, 9-1-1 does not offer room service.

ahhhhhh! What are those ocean things?! I fear, fear the Ocean! Those tubeworms do not help.
Sammy Hagar...ahahahahah. He's HUGE in St. Louis. He always raves about how he loves this this town (and it's probably the last Sammy holdout this side of Cabo), but does he live here? Nope.
Alcatraz is made even weirder by the fact that now everyone walks around in silence with headphones. But yeah, it's pretty cool.
Wow, great photos. And I agree with you about the red wine and the cheese!
Glad you seemed to have a great time and didn't get overcome by the smoke :)
marrrrk- we went to the Muir Wood Monument too. They've done wildlife studies on the effect of noise on the animals that live there. Needless to say we didn't see any signs of life and it was quite loud. Maybe they should install the same headsets there to shut everybody up.
cheezy- All the way in Cali and every bit of cheese we had was English. Go figure ;o)
We were passing by Muir Wood on our way elsewhere, but we had to stop in and see it. This is how our visit went.
Park...walk a little bit down the path...Me: "I'll bet this 50 yards is repeated down the rest of the path and looks the same.
Wife: I agree.
We stand look around for a few minutes, then split.
marrrrk- We were on a tour and only had 45 minutes to walk around. By the time we got in, grabbed a coffee and walked through a ways, we had to turn around...and run for the bus. The bastard was about to pull away when we ran up because we were 1 minute late. Fucker. I guess we didn't miss anything by having to turn around so soon.
California is very proud of its cheese. We're all like, "fuck you wisconsin!"
some very awesome pics!
California cheese has its own commercials. That whole "happy cows come from California" schtick.
I guess they don't slaughter cows in Cali?
And what the fuck were those things that washed up on the beach?
jiggs- cali has the best wines too. What's Wisconsin got? Ice cream? Nobody eats cheese AND ice cream. That's dairy over-kill.
slyde- Thanks! I can't believe they actually let you see these pics. Too bad I left out the GOOD ones ;o)
earl- I was hoping someone might tell ME wtf they are.
