Our next destination was San Francisco! Just outside of Monterey, we came across a beautiful fruit stand. So we stopped. ;)
We drove all the way through the city to the northern part and across the Golden Gate Bridge. Neither of us remember ever driving across it before (although we may have!), so it was an exhilarating experience!
We then continued up a very windy road to Muir Woods National Monument. It took us a little while to get organized with the National Parks pass and NP passports for stamps...so we got to walk one stretch of path multiple times! After finally getting everything in place correctly, we only had 30 minutes until we needed to leave. Thus, we chose to do the second shortest loop. It was beautiful with huge redwood trees! The air was fresh too. We even had the chance to take one family's picture so they could all be in it! They took ours too :) There was a stream running through the woods (that in other times of year would be full of salmon!) which added to the peaceful atmosphere of the woods. Here is a taste of the views:
After that we met up with some of Alyssa's friends who live there. They are an amazing couple who opened up their home to us for our 2 nights in San Francisco. On this particular night they treated us to really good Katsu curry rice :) We were exhausted by this point, so we returned to their house to relax for the rest of the evening.
