Last day

KH goes wading

     It's our last day and we all sleep in until 9:30, get showered, changed, packed, load up the car and go to the Boulevard Restaurant for a big brunch.  It's a popular destination and is packed out and we wait for a table for 20 minutes, but it is well worth it.  We then head down the coast to Pacifica and stop at two places along the way to see the surf and the surfers, who look like a school of penguins in their black wetsuits.  The water is very rough and I admire the bravery of anyone willing to set foot in it.

Surf's up!

     We then drove through Half Moon Bay and then to the airport to say our goodbyes to our wonderful hosts/friends.  We try to check in at the United airlines desk only to be told we need to be at the Air Canada desk, where we discover our flight has been delayed 5 1/2 hours!  I check my suitcase and we get back on the BART to Powell Street for a last look around the city, a bite to eat and to waste some time.  Ironically, we bump into TH, who wonders what the hell we are doing downtown!  We stopped at Cafe Mason for a very disappointing dinner then head back to airport, go through security and get the all-important Duty-free Scotch, wait in the lounge and finally catch our flight home.

Homeward bound
