Last Hoorah in California

We checked out of the Windsor condo and headed west toward Jenner with a detour to see if the wolves were in the yard. No wolves, but we enjoyed other magnificent scenery as we followed the Russian River to the coast.

Spectacular sights along the dramatic, rugged Pacific lifted our spirits on the last day of a great vacation. The flora was so unusual as we sipped coffee and settled on a route. The winding coastline to Bodega Bay was simply beautiful. We stopped at the Visitor's center for a restaurant recommendation and took in the memorabilia from the famed Hitchcock movie, "The Birds," which was filmed in the town in 1963.

After lunch at the Tides Wharf restaurant we worked our way to the SFO airport hotel.

Julie's dinner recommendation, Lolinda, was a perfect finale in San Francisco. What a journey! Amazing food, wine, scenery and friendship. It going to be a hard trip to top!
