On the rare occasion that we don't go home on the weekend, we stay in San Carlos and find something to do! We read an article in Sunset magazine earlier this year about the rehabilitated Crissy Field in San Francisco, it looked like it was worth a visit on an afternoon. So even though the sun was shining in San Carlos, we packed lots of sweatshirts and windbreakers and headed for the City. We know that it is usually a lot cooler in San Francisco that it is on the Peninsula. Mark Twain once said, "The coldest winter I ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco."

We stopped at the Crissy Field Center for a quick bite of lunch and enjoyed all the sailboats going by in the Bay. |

The view to the West isn't bad either, the tops of the towers are just barely touching the fog! |

The Bay Area is still a busy port, this is the second large container ship we saw sailing under the Bridge! |
| Becca thinks this is a postcard and should be entered in a contest! It is kind of neat the way the sun shines on the north tower. But it was too cold to stay, and right after this we headed back to sunny San Carlos. | ![]() |
