Driving From Carmel By The Sea to San Francisco

April  22

Before leaving lovely Carmel we decided to check out the 17 mile scenic drive and boy was it ever worth it, so scenic, crashing ocean waves, beautiful homes, Pebble Beach golf course.

Our driving trip took us past miles and miles of farms which were growing what looked like lots of Romaine lettuce and artichokes. We stopped at a farmstand in Castro on the way to San Francisco and the strawberries bought there, huge and red and oh so juicy, were the absolute tastiest strawberries I've ever had.

Aaahhhh. Lovely San Francisco. Jose and Margo are the best hosts. They treated us to a superb dinner in Little Italy at the North End Restaurant. The waitstaff and food were all outstanding and let's not forget the delicious wine.

Prior to eating out we drove on hilly and curvy Lombard St. Now I know I've arrived in San Francisco.
