Bay to Breakers



Well, Steve and I finished Bay to Breakers. You cannot believe how many naked people we saw. We had to be really careful on where our hands were at all times...if you moved too fast, you could be touching something that was really gross!

The Hayes St. Hill was nowhere near as bad as we thought it would be. We had a great time and were very proud of ourselves. We walked a good 9 miles. The race was only 7.46 miles but you had to walk from BART to the startline and then another mile or so from the finish line to Footstock where we picked up our participant t-shirts.

Our Cruise to Mexico


Well, we're back from our cruise. We had perfect weather, sunny in the 90's with no humidity! Right outside of our stateroom was a private deck on the ship. We found it on our second day. The view was at the bow (front) of the ship with nothing below and the only thing above was the bridge. On our last day as we were coming into San Francisco, I looked up and there was the Captain, standing behind the wheel and waving at me.

The food was amazing. Everything tastes great when served in a 5-star restaurant with a view of the ocean.

We saw a whale one day while we were walking on the promenade deck. We turned a corner and there was this little Mexican worker who was painting the ship. He was pointing out to the sea and dancing around. He was trying to speak English without much luck. He finally got out the word, "Whale". It was so cool. The whale was spouting and jumping out of the water. We watched for about 5 minutes.

We also saw thousands (literally) of dolphins migrating. We started seeing them outside of Acupulco and saw them all the way to Cabo San Lucas. Much better than Marine World...

Steve will be home in about a week and a half. We are doing Bay to Breakers before we come home! Wish us luck...
