Also, I'm attempting to eat my weight in avocados.

yesterday was my last day of free-wheelin before I had to return to work.
And boy did we take advantage of the day.

We took our first trip over the golden gate bridge.
Believe it or not, I've been under it in a boat,
but until yesterday we've never gone over it.
A friend of ours picked us up and we headed North.

On the other side, we spent hours exploring the Marin Headlands.
This area is an old WW2 military base (Fort Cronkhite)
Which has been abandoned since the 1960s.
There were old bunkers, missle tunnels, concrete structures,
and miles and miles of wilderness.

We followed this tiny dirt trails all the way to the very edge of giant sea cliffs.
We watched seals lounge in the sun and deer graze nearby.
I can't even explain to you the beauty we experienced.
It was unlike anything I've ever seen before.
I felt like I was at the very tip of the world.

There was no one around for miles except sea birds and wild animals.
We even found this one place where there were tunnels underground leading from one concrete bunker to another.
years ago, the military stored weapons and munitions in these bunkers.
Now they're covered in some of the coolest graffiti art I've seen.

Later, we came down out of the hills and had dinner in Sausalito.
It is a beautiful town on the water,
but different than I expected.
I thought I'd discover a bohemian seaside community with organic markets
and barefoot boat dwellers and bungalow hippies.
Instead, It felt like a mini rodeo drive
with high end retailers,
million dollar cliff-side mansions,
and more luxury cars than I've ever seen in one small area.
It was charming, none the less
and we had the most delicious mexican dinner with a view of the water.
