Last weekend Ruth’s aunt Britta and uncle Fine were visiting San Francisco. On Friday evening we went to our weekend-begins routine to Off the Grid Food Market in Fort Mason. There you can get anything from Asian and South American street food to The Whole Beast (if you crave for meat) to European food at the Old World Truck or you go for something new like Korean-Japanese fusion food or chocolate tacos. The food needs to be enjoyed standing or, if you are lucky on one of the rare free plastic chairs. And you have to bring warm clothes: when the sun goes down you feel the chilly sea breeze. Therefore after eating we warmed up at the hotel fire place.

On Saturday we went over the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County to see the Muir Woods National Monument Park. There are the coast Redwoods to which the tallest tree in the world belongs. It’s quit difficult to get the over 1000 years old and over 70 meter tall trees on a picture. And you experience that your brain tries to make the trees appear smaller, because trees can’t be that tall.

On the way back we passed by Sausalito to eat something. We found a nice restaurant at the sea with beautiful view and good food, only when we wanted to pay there was a power outage. After we smelled that also the ventilation didn’t work anymore, we decided that we don’t wait to pay with credit card but just pay cash. That was a good decision because the outage lasted nearly two hours.

Fine and Britta went on to Hawaii and we are looking forward to see them again on their way back in San Francisco.
