San Francisco - Hoorah!!

So I was up early Sunday morning could. Of wait for the ride into the city. Ray and Katherine left then Sierra who was meeting her father up north another 30 miles then he was driving her back into the city. We probably won't be seeing those people again as ray and Katherine were to fly back to quebec once they rested in San Francisco. Luckily we stopped for coffee otherwise both Brandon and I thought we were literally hauling ass with these fast riders. Hooray a stop for a burrito in sausalito before the big climb. So thankful to the guys and mike and Julie for getting us to the city so quickly and seeing a lot of beautiful little towns and homes along the way. We were riding up this huge hill to get to the bridge along the way saw a doe and her two fawns that we're tiny. It was sunny but you could see the bridge from a distance, I just felt overwhelmed and even now am teary eyed because of actually knowing we pedaled this far! Mike and Julie let us stay with them till big mike came to pick us up.im just calling him big mike but by no means is he, Brandon met him on the plane coming out here so he gave him his number and told us to call for a place to stay. He and Alecia were perfect hosts I only wish we had met his wife Mary but maybe we will see her sometime because she is a flight attendant for southwest airlines. This family is really into their sports big mike is an accomplished runner and cyclist that is how he and Mary met. Thank you so much for a great meal and beautiful warm home. The next day we took a full day for rest took the Bart back into the city. Stayed at the city center hostel which was a very nice clean spot. They warned us about what area to not wander in the dark. I got a yummiest treat(thanks isa) called holahola then we walked every where, waterfront, mission district and finally lunch in china town.( sorry andrew next time we will stop for sure). We left the next day after our two dollar all u can eat eggs and pancakes they also had a free continental breakfast. Brandon decided to take us on a short cut which turned out to be quite ugly those huge hills for one(beautiful view)and found ourselves on the interstate (nightmare!!)so normally my honey would watch out for both and let me know when it was safe to cross, sorry when you see it clear Mickey your on your own. Nice!! The nice sight we saw coming up the big hill was a guy with his sun parrot it was so cute. Andrew you would have loved seeing this sight!! Next stop half moon bay if we get there alive!
