Today, Saturday, June 18, we finally came to the Pacific Ocean. The weather today was excellent. Our tour hosts were The MG Owners Club in the San Francisco area. I highly recommend their group leadership.
We had relatively clear views of San Francisco - the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge from Marina Green, the Presidio, Fort Point, Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks, the Great Highway, and Sutro Baths site. Then we had lunch at one of the many restaurants in the Sutro area. Then we had final good-byes and pictures and presentations before we all went our varied ways to home, to the hotel, and/or to drop off cars that were being shipped back by transport. Dennis and Pat and Ron and Pat continued on across the Golden Gate Bridge to Hawks Hill where we got pictures of our MG's with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Then back to our hotel.
I have some wonderful pictures to share and will do that later when I update the blog. This was just a quick note to bring you up to date. We are on our way to dinner at a restaurant on Fisherman's Wharf in front of Ghirardelli Square.
It is later ...... And here are some pictures from today.

Bet that was sad the 'parting of the ways', looks like you were with some great people. Noted the obligatory drinkin' and eatin' shots.
ReplyDeleteLombard Street, well done. Hope the brakes were ok!
Was that Ron out there surfing?
Hey, those evening shots were framable in themselves - they are going to be great for the art group. Really lovely pictures, liked the colors a lot.
I have to say that I did expect some photos of Ron doing his act at Finochios. He told me that he is a legend there as the Gorgeous Bombshell Ronnette - The Ultimate Supervamp . Or is that the thing he asked me to never mention to anyone? Phew, nearly let the cat out of the bag!!
Looking forward to more great blogs! (Wot, no Dennys??)
By strange coincidence Dirt Harry (set in SF) was on last night, still a good movie even though I know the script - Did I feel lucky, punk? Sure did. Couldn't you have done a couple of re-enactments from Bullitt?? Maybe today huh?
ReplyDeleteI love the sunset picture. I like Ron's picture holding the sand from Ocean City and San Francisco. You made from one ocean to another.
ReplyDeleteYou gus are so cute!!! The sunset dinner picture is magnificent, by the way.

Hi Pam and Ron - glad you are following our MG Adventure. You know, we expect to see your blog when y'all visit Italy in September.
ReplyDeleteHi Mike - sorry, no time for re-enactments - hardly time to stop for photos. We should have some good photos of us going down Lombard's switchback block when all the other people's pictures are posted somewhere at sometime.
