Driving from Yosemite through California toward San Francisco, our journey was delayed slightly by a large herd of cattle being shoveled across the road by real-life cowboys (and cowgirls). It was the strangest thing – we were driving along the highway and all of a sudden a cowgirl is flagging us down telling us to stop. They finish moving the cows across the road and we continue to San Francisco.

We went downtown for a lovely dinner with an overlook of the Bay. We ate at Alito’s, where we enjoyed Sicilian-style seafood dishes and delicious bread. Some boisterous Sicilian family arrived toward the end of our meal; we had fun watching them yell and curse at each other in that affectionate Sicilian way.

After a visit to Ghirardelli square to procure some chocolate, we took quite a few pictures of Alcatraz Island (left) and the Golden Gate bridge (right). After a quick swim out to Alcatraz and back, we returned to our car for our trip back to our lovely RV park in Pacifica.
