Point Bonita

Here’s a link to the pictures that were taken out in California last week. The first one is of a street in San Francisco (not sure which one). If you haven’t been out there, the streets are just how they look on TV/movies and occasionally there will be a building out in the middle of it, or so it seems. We also went across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco to Point Bonita. It was hazy that day, but still really pretty. The last few are from my hotel window in San Jose. Not very good, but it is beautiful in the valley with the mountains all around.
