Visited Battery Townsley at the Marin Headlands this weekend. It’s 20 miles north of the city and AMAZING! The drive is all through these old army barracks and green hills, and a one lane tunnel about 2 miles long, kinda sketchy. When you get there you have to climb up a semi steep hill to [...]

Went for cocktails at Bourbon and Branch in the tenderloin, Saturday night. It’s styled like an old speakeasy. You need reservations, especially on weekends, go to their website and they’ll give you a password to get in. There is a main bar with seating and is less crowded. If you want to get a real [...]

Took a tour of the old City of Seattle.. buried underneath the current city. The tour is $15 and 90 minutes loooooong.

What’s with the religious craze? There was a christian cross carved into a hillside. Maybe that’s going a bit far. Walked into the town to [...]

The West Point Inn [...]

Went to the North Dutch Windmill in Golden gate Park, built in 1902. Apparently it was used to pump water into the park, by wind alone. Until in the 60s someone thought they should put modern machinery in the mill to make it turn electronically.?. Good news is the city has sent the Murphy’s Windmill [...]
