We dressed perfectly in light clothing, wore our hats to protect us from the sunshine and headed north. Views were world class. The iconic orange bridge against the blue water was spectacular. We were heading into unknown territory.
We were heading to Tiburon. It is a spit of land north of the city with only one road in. Attached to this spit is an island of some of the very wealthiest people in the area and also the most stunning views. We have never been on this spit of land. Many people access it from the city via ferry.
We wove our way through the area to the very end of the spit and just fell into the closest parking lot. This is an area of tiny shops and tiny, twisting roads. Lots of trucks were parked unloading goods for the weekend. We were there very early. We walked the whole downtown area, sat near the water watching the ferries while enjoying the sunshine then decided where to eat an early lunch.
Lunch? Oysters. The best: Hog Island Oysters. Mine cooked, Michael's raw. I also had an artichoke while Michael had a crab sandwich, which was perfect.
Afterwards, we headed back over the bridge, though the Avenues, back to our shopping area over the hill to buy a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake for a birthday party for Michael's boys-night-out. We also bought mom a single piece and dropped it off at her place. We relaxed for an hour before I had to leave for a rehearsal with the little violin kids and Michael to his party.
Just as I was heading to bed at 8:00, I got a phone call that lasted until 10:00 when Michael arrived home.
Today? It is a more beautiful morning and I am planning to cut, trim and water the garden as well as plant over 40 plants. My summer plantings. If I can't get it all done today, I will finish it tomorrow.
