San Francisco is a really fun city. We found a great hotel that was a short bus ride to the famous fisherman's wharf. We walked for three hours along the wharf listening to music, getting free balloons, watching the sea lions on pier 39 and eating ice cream. We met with Sunny, Patricia, Dallas and Linda for dinner and decided on the Cioppio restaurant. It was really great to see our friends, even though it was a short time.
After updating our AAA membership we starting a leisurly drive to Pismo beach. We quickly decided against the coastal road and drove Hwy 101 all the way. The hills and valleys cause Tink to overheat too quickly. We have to drive with the heater on full on the flat freeway as it is. We stopped at home depot and I bought an allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the drive shaft. (Safety first!!).
We arrived at Pismo beach at 4:30 and we were all itching to get sand stuck in our toes. It's hard to describe the feeling but the the two beach pictures must be worth about 200o words. The Blue dolphin hotel in the background is where we are staying tonight. We all got out feet into the ocean. AMAzinG!
A few words from Naomi.

Ah Van Adventures! Jeff and I actually had an incident outside Garberville in March last year - helpful people but it is surreal that it really is the largest town for miles around... Did you see the full jazz busking family?
One strong tip - get that overheating looked after before leaving California! Those engines can get very bad and have been known to catch fire and having to replace an engine in spanish in an isolated town is VERY STRESSFUL. Chill out in San Diego for a while. There are a number of great mechanics in the area and excellent food and beach walking opportunities. The youth hostel downtown has excellent private family rooms. Send me a note if you want a recommendation for a mechanic in San Diego and I'll dig out the card of one we had great success with.
Patience, love and adventure go hand in hand (in hand?). I love reading your updates! Best of luck :)
Next time that you are in the SF Bay Area give your favorite second cousin a call! My girls would have loved hanging out with your girls.
