More Nor Cal

Our trip to Northern California continued as we toured Mission San Rafael, one of the 21 missions along the Camino Real.
We stopped at Boudin's at Fishermen's Wharf and had a bread bowl with clam chowder - really excellent!!
Enjoying our clam chowder by the bay.
Steve used to come to car shows in San Francisco with his family when he was young. . .and they always made it a point to stop at Pier 39. Alana and Steve are pictured here with the famous seal lions in the background on the pier.
Our next stop was Golden Gate Park where we took this picture of the entrance to San Francisco Bay - note the Golden Gate Bridge towers in the middle right hand corner.
We also stopped at the DeYoung Art Museum in Golden Gate Park for a bit. . .
then it was off to a major high point of the trip _ Ghirardelli Square. Erin's friend, Matt, from the Coast Guard, joined us for Cable Car Hot Fudge Sundaes - really excellent.
No explanation needed here - the chocolate we had was superb as usual.
Here we are in front of our hostel at the Marin Headlands - it was a really fun trip for all of us.
