Day 4 – We did this!


View Larger Map

In a 911… One of us had a blast.  The other was sweet enough to not complain.  The road is significantly curvier than it looks in the map above.  It’s the kind of road the car was made for.  And the car did great!

We started the day in Sausalito.  It was cold and gray.  We stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge to look for our brick.

I bought this nearly twenty years ago as a surprise for our tenth anniversary.  When we went looking for it back then, I had the location on a sheet of paper.  This time we forgot to take that with us.  It took us the better part of an hour to spot the brick this time.  And we knew what section it was in!  But we did find it, it was nice to see; nicer to realize it is twenty years old (nearly) and we’re still going strong.

From there we drove US 1 along the coast to Half Moon Bay.  It was still cold and foggy.  Not long after we got on 35 (the twisty road in the map), the sun came out and things warmed up.

About halfway we stopped at Alice’s Restaurant.  A friend had suggested we stop there, but we forgot all about it.  When the sign for Woodside came up I suddenly remembered the restaurant, and there it was!  The food was good; we had burgers.  It was nice to sit outside and take our time eating.  It was our first non-grocery store lunch in a few days. 

Overall, today was meant to be a slow day.  We only covered 78 miles and had more time to relax and walk around Los Gatos.

Tomorrow we start pushing for SoCal again.
