M&M Sightseeing and Celebrant Services: Well that was an interesting night...

So, last night as Mike was finishing up our blog post there came a rapping at the door. We open it up to discover three police officers shining there flashlights in our faces. They informed us that we were not able to spend the night where we were and that we were going to have to move. This was at one o'clock in the morning, but the fine officers of the San Francisco police department were quite insistent. Luckily we were able to find an RV park just north of San Francisco that didn't have a gate and sneak in, which is where I am now. It actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise because we were able to take nice hot showers and do some laundry this morning.

Now to bring everybody back up to speed. Yesterday was actually a great day in spite of the trouble with our parking place. We slept in at Kirk Creek campground and woke up to the Pacific ocean in our back yard. Once we got moving we decided we should stop and get some breakfast. In the heart of Big Sur there is a little inn called Deetjins tucked in to the mountainside surrounded by sequoia trees. The little cafe located there had an amazing breakfast (even if the service was a little slow) and we got back on the road full and happy. From there we decided to try to find somewhere to go for a little hike, so we stopped by a ranger station and got a few suggestions from the ranger. He told us to go to Andrew Molera Park because they had a nice easy one mile walk down to the beach. We took his suggestion and it turned out to be a great one. The next stop on our little journey was Carmel so that we could go to this cool little pub that Mike remembered called the Hog's Breath. We stopped in and had a drink and some delicious crab dip then headed up to the Seventeen Mile Drive. The Seventeen Mile Drive is a road through Pebble Beach that runs right along the ocean and some of the world's best golf courses. It is also home to the Monterrey cypress tree which is only found here. We took our time and took in the sites along the drive and then headed north. The drive up to San Francisco was pretty cool because we got to see all the farm land where our raspberries, strawberries, and other fruits and vegetables come from. When we did get to San Francisco I caught up with Mr. K (my high school biology teacher) and then got some delicious Thai food for dinner. That brings us back to the beginning of my post. We will try to make these post's more regular from here on. We had some issues with cell reception in Big Sur but hopefully that won't be a problem any more.
