Saturday

Dan: It only took a few hours to drive from Gilroy to Tiburon, where we would spend the night with Steve, a fraternity brother from Bradley University. He was very gracious, willing to host us even on Friday night only a few hours after emergency dental surgery for a cracked tooth. As we described in an earlier post, however, we didn’t make it all the way to San Francisco on Friday, so Steve had an extra night to recuperate before we descended. Saturday afternoon, the three of us went to the Golden Gate Recreational Area and hiked to a spot overlooking the Bridge. It’s a popular photo location, with a graduate getting her pictures taken there, a somewhat risque photoshoot off in the bushes, and even an amateur producer filming a commercial with a drone. The weather was great and the views, of course, were exceptional. We later had a couple of drinks in town and picked up accoutrements for dinner.  Although Alan and I typically spend the time after dinner blogging, checking email, etc., this time the three of us just hung out and talked through the evening.
