The Last Part, 12/27/12-1/2/13

This was the last part of my vacation, we returned to Sacramento and drove back up to South Lake Tahoe. A view of the Lake from a restaurant.

 Notice the guy removing snow from the roof.

Heavenly Valley is up there.

 One more picture of the Lake which I think Richard took.

Thanks Richard for choosing Fog City Diner to have lunch with Jon and Casey.

Coit Tower brings back fond memories of my day with Jon this past summer.

Transamerica Pyramid is iconic to San Francisco.

I was so very happy to see Jon's works in person and to see how large they are.

So San Francisco...

Off to Marin County

From Sausalito,  the Bay Bridge

New Year's Eve, Richard and I enjoyed a cruise from the Berkeley Marina and enjoyed the fireworks. Happy New Year!!! Happy 2013!

The next day, was our last day before leaving for home - hmmm, where should we go? Yes San Francisco. Had this delicious salmon at Dobbs Ferry before meeting Kathryn at Hayes Valley.

Thanks Jon, not only was this delicious, I also appreciated the presentation.

Kathryn and myself in Jon and Casey's backyard. Thanks Kathryn for driving Richard and me around!

Jon and Casey are fortunate to have this neighborhood cafe.

We walked to the Golden Gate Park.

Bob and Kitty, we enjoyed staying at your home, thanks for being such great hosts.  Here we are at Serritella's where Andy and Judy wanted to go but the restaurant was not open for lunch.

I know it was cold the morning we left Sacramento, however I was so surprised to see ice on the tops of these rubbish containers.

I certainly had a wonderful Christmas break. Here are the links to my 2 previous posts.
