Maggie's school break getaway vacation with her Dad:
Haight Street San Francisco March 2002

Napa accross the bridge.
Rented a car for a day visit to the wine country for old times sake. Years ago we'd drive west and fill up on wine for the trip back home. Air travel leaves wine buying out. Saw no wine but heavy weekend traffic on every road. Seemed much less fun and more like suburban sprawl. Napa in particular was disappointing. The rural feel is gone, probably has been for years. The boutique (luxury) shopping outlets caught Maggie's eye. She did the Coach stop. Loved it. I snoozed in the car while she shopped after nice Napa-esque lunch.   (Continued . . . )

Martin's travelling chair overlooks Point Reyes marshy field.

( . . . Continued.)  The best part was a swampy field near Reyes Point. Big expanse with mountains. No folks like at the beach we didn't get to. Found the Green Gulch Monastery (Zen) where a cousin lived/worked for years. They didn't know her. Stocked up on their incense and got a phone number to try and track her down. For under $100 a night SanFranciscans can hear dharma talks and participate in group zazen. Day visits on weekends and since this was Saturday they were moving in for a day of peace. Very pretty spot. Scary driving back in town because I didn't know which streets to avoid. Picked something (Division Street maybe) that just seemed to go straight up and never stop. Cross streets were something terrible because of the grade. Rounding the top it felt like a rolloer coaster. Cabbies and locals know the through (flat) streets to take. They should put this information on the map!   [CLICK HERE to return to Haight Street San Francisco March 2002 Home Page]

Please Rate Our Fourpeaks Website. Whether you're an experienced webmaster or just a novice surfer, you may have feedback or suggestions to help us improve. We well remember the visitor a year or so ago who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify each link so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to.
Your comments or suggestions will be equally appreciated.
