Next stop San Francisco... well Berkeley to start with.
We had found a place to stay on my new favourite website airbnb.com (check it out!) And ended up with a lovely room in a local's house. We were free to come and go as we pleased and had use of the kitchen... and all for a bargain compared the options for hotels in the area.

The main reason for the trip was to visit my brother and sister-in-law and meet my new, baby nephews... soooo cute!!
This was actually taken long before we got there... but I love this pic... Robbie & Will were so tiny that they had them sleeping in a tub.

Ian looking very proficient feeding Will
Robbie & Will in the double buggie that gets so much attention!!
Tammie with "her favourite!" (Whichever boy she's holding is her favourite!)
Super cute sepia pic Ian took of Robbie & Will
We did get a chance to go play in San Francisco... we opted against the bike tours this time and for the Muni day pass that gets you on all the buses, streetcars, cablecars... very fun!
There was some interesting art on the BART
... notice the design of the backpack!
Cable car
Of course, we stopped to eat in Chinatown!
Nice abstract of downtown SF
Down the dock in San Fran
Alcatraz with a race team practicing & the ferry
Just a cool plaque among the many in the streets of Berkeley
We managed to fit in time to have lunch with my friend Elsie
In fact, we had a lot of great food in SF... of course!! This was a fab burger joint in Berkeley
But it's not surprising there's such good food when they have so much amazing produce!!! And this is just in the everyday supermarket!! Eat your heart out East Coasters!!
Me, Tadd & Sheena enjoying our Provencal lunch... Yum!!
Ian & Paul
