We drove to San Francisco the following morning, returned
the rental car to a spot many levels down in a parking garage and walked to our
hotel, Hotel Triton, the most bizarre and quirky of the hotels our travel agent
had selected for us.
We were given a
room that had excerpts from Jack Kerouac’s “One the Road” as wallpaper. The lobby had strangely shaped furniture, psychedelic
decor and a tarot reader on duty from five PM until sometime later than when we
retired for the evening.

Michael and I spent the last three days of the trip in San
Francisco visiting with Michael’s sister Ronnie and her husband Steve. We had three wonderful dinners at three very
different restaurants, walked miles around the city, took light rail and
antique streetcars, and visited Fisherman’s Wharf, Ocean Beach, the Japanese
Garden in Golden Gate Park and many other places. Our hotel was just at the gate to Chinatown
so, of course, we had Dim Sum twice. San
Francisco is such a wondrous city that it is easy to spend time there.

We flew home on Monday, November third and have been home
nearly three weeks. Tomorrow we leave
for Ft. Lauderdale and a Caribbean cruise.
I find it very hard to believe that I am actually living this life.
