This past weekend the weather was good so I spent Sunday afternoon at Baker Beach. It’s one of numerous beaches around San Francisco, and arguably the best. Usually when Valerie and I go to the beach we go to Ocean Beach which stretches the entire length of the west coast of the city, but it gets battered by the fierce Pacific winds and is usually quite cold. We went last week and stayed 10 minutes because it was so cold.
Baker Beach is much better. It’s considerably smaller and has a nudist section on the northern end. It’s sheltered from the winds that Ocean Beach experiences and it has an excellent view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
We brought my frisbee and a little ball to play with. The frisbee was awesome fun for a while until the wind caught it and landed it in the sea. The current is so strong in the water that the waves break every few seconds and it took exactly that long for my frisbee to disappear. I was notably disappointed.
I also didn’t eat hardly all day and was absolutely starving when I got home. Luckily my friend Yaching from Taiwan was cooking dinner, and she’s an awesome cook so we had fried chicken and tuna salad which was nice. Minus the salad.
I also managed to finally get my photo’s from Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur photos onto my computer. I posted Monterey and Carmel before, so here’s a few from Big Sur.
Is that dog real? Just to let you know whizz kid that when I open your blog there is about 10 inches of blank screen before your blog starts.
