On our way back from Point Reyes, we figured we’d stop and grab some photos of the night sky.

This was actually shot with my old camera. There was a ton of image noise, so I had to stack a couple of photos to create a better image. Turned out pretty decent.

So on our way to Point Reyes, we took the scenic route, cutting through the forest and mountains.

As you can see, Annie enjoying the view of the mountains and the coastline.

And of course, Annie wanted her selfie. Had to use the flash on this one. ^_^

The drive was awesome. You can’t really tell phone this photo, but the road undulated the entire way up, down and around.

It was kind of like skiing, but with 4 wheels. (Ps. Thanks Patrick for lending us your S2000!!)

I should mention that last time Annie and I went here, we kind of got lost and ended up somewhere completely off the grid. This time around, we kind of knew what we were doing.

I can’t really express how beautiful the experience was. The variety and change in scenery each mile was overwhelming.

And here’s a photo by Annie—she *had* to take photos of the deer. I’m not sure why, but it was interesting for her. Lol.

And now we arrive at what is arguably my favorite part of the trip. This is the California coastline (near Point Reyes) bathed in a sunset. The colors are reminiscent of Dali’s paintings.

Simply breath taking. I only wish I had that view all the time.

And finally we arrive at the lighthouse.

Unfortunately, the lighthouse was closed off… but we still got to see another sunset from a stellar view.

The sun touching down.

And look at the gnarly rock. Years of erosion caused the unusual formation.

As you’ll notice, getting up early and watching the sunrise was a nice ritual Annie and I started on our trip… however, Annie was too tired to get up, so I took some photos.

This photo was taking from Patrick’s apartment. Pretty nice view.

Later, we went to Fort Funston, a park near San Francisco. You really don’t get the scale of the park in this photo, but that trail is nearly 45 degrees.

We walked around and snapped a couple photos. I was probably a little stupid and got too close to the edge. Won’t be doing that anymore—I’ve seen youtube videos of people falling to their doom. It’s no joke!

Apparently the park was some sort of military base, as a first line of defense against an invasion.

They camouflaged artillery with foliage and dug tunnels to house massive cannons.

It seemed like there was a view 360 degrees. On one side, you have a beautiful coastline. On the other side, you have civilization (and a golf course).

I’d probably need a couple more days just to walk around and explore the area.

After Expa, Rudy took us for a tour around San Francisco.

We walked around the market and ended up near the piers.

Last time, Annie and I drove past here, but we didn’t have a chance to explore it.

It pretty much had everything you could imagine (at extraordinary prices). There’s no shortage of ways to spend money around here.

You can even grow you own shrooms.

Nice selection of cured pork.

And of course cheeses. Thanks Rudy for the hookup!

After walking for a while, we decided to get a late lunch. Here’s my clam chowder… this bowl was legit.

Later, we stopped by Japan town to do some touristy things.

And touristy photos.

Pretty much every shop was packed to the ceilings with nick nacks.
