Reno, NV to Sausalito, CA

Just woke up and continued my drive into San Francisco.  Went via South Lake Tahoe making only 2 stops, once at Denny’s for breakfast, and once by a cop for speeding.  I put the big Aussie accent on thick, and luckily he let me off with a just warning.  Phew! 

Once in San Francisco I drop the car off downtown and walk down to the ferry terminal in order to catch the 1pm ferry over to Sausalito.  On the other side I am met by Peggy (or Aunt P as Amy affectionately calls her).  Peggy is Amy’s friend, Natalie’s aunt, and is kindly putting us up for the next few nights.  Peggy’s apartment is beautiful, with a huge balcony overlooking the Bay.  Unbelievable! 

Amy arrived from Portland at 3.30pm and it was a wonderfully warm reunion.  That evening the 3 of us had dinner at the Cat and Fiddle in Sausalito.  This is a great restaurant with a patio which hangs over the Bay.  Fantastic food, incredible view, and wonderful company!  A couple days here meeting Peggy & Natalie, as well as catching up with Robbie, who is arriving in the US for a work conference on Saturday.  This should be a great way to send us on our cross country drive.

Me, Sausalito, California
