We went our separate ways and I thought I'd try to make it Bar Jules for a bite to eat-as it gets rave reviews. The neighborhood our hotel was in felt a bit shady at dusk (no pun intended) and I headed back waiting for Todd. His plane ran late, I fell asleep, he went for mediocre tacos someplace unremarkable (except for the mediocre tacos), also thought it was a bit shady and came back to the hotel.
The next morning I used my trusty dusty Urban Spoon application (thanks Jay!) and found a little breakfast place around the corner called Taylor Street Coffee Shop. Just a whole in the wall with a line around the corner and the most awesome crab omelet made with garlic butter Todd's ever had. I did not order anything "Californian' but my standard breakfast was still great. We both highly recommend this place but come prepared to wait. It's listed in the Michelin Guide we found out so at least you'll be waiting in an international group.
We then walked to the Hertz Rent-A-Car 3 blocks away and realized we were in the Tenderloin District (see "shady neighborhood" reference above). Quickly got our car, and crossed the Golden Gate bridge onto what is truly the crookedest street in the world...in Marin County.
Note that the Golden Gate Bridge isn't tilting, its the photographer....
The drive along Highway 1 was beautiful and we poked along the way stopping at small towns and beautiful vistas. We passed Bodega Bay headed up to Fort Ross but we decided to turn back and enjoyed a leisurely trip back the half hour or so. A great start to a lovely vacation.
Our first stop along the Highway.
These rocks dusted the coast all the way up. We love the caves!
A blare of red against the rock and clouds. It was striking.
