Day 13

We started out the day by going to Muir Woods National Monument. Muir is a forest of giant redwood trees.  And it was only 7 miles from our motel.   The road to get there was winding and twisting with tight curves. And if that wasn't challenging enough, the fog got thick as pea soup. It's a good thing it wasn't good weather because then we would have seen just how far down the cliffs were since there was about 6 inches of dirt shoulder at times. This park was well worth the stop and was amazing.

After the park we headed back over the Golden Gate Bridge and back into the city. Today we were going down to Pier 39 and the fisherman's wharf area. We got to see Alcatraz and the harbor seals.  Then we had lunch at the Crab House on the pier.

There was not a lot of riding today, we just mingled with all the tourists, and it was pretty crowded. There were a lot of foreigners visiting the area, mostly from China and Germany that I could tell.  

We never really got to see the Golden Gate Bridge in clear nice weather. Every time  we went over the bridge, it was very cold very windy and very foggy.  From what we're learning that's pretty much the norm this time of year.
