I Left My Heart...In Really Long Line Ups!

It was so busy in SFO, there was a notice at the front desk advising people it would not be possible to get a taxi after 1PM.  Ouch!

On Monday, Janet, Meg and Bronwyn hatched a plan to take the ferry to Sausalito, bike to Tiburon and take the ferry back from Tiburon.  They went to a different bike company and the bikes were much better.  All sources consulted said that most bike renters will bike across the Golden Gate Bridge and then take the ferry back from Sausalito.  This can result in a two or three ferry wait as they can take only so many bikes.

That was one reason for biking to Tiburon.  The other reason was because Janet is afraid, no make that terrified,  of heights and is willing to bet you can see down to the water from the bridge.

Look - a bicycle stop light!
Here is the line up ahead of us on the ferry:
And here is the line up behind us:
Karen and Ken's nephew, Doug is the chef at a restaurant in Sausalito.  Here is the line up ahead of us for lunch:

Lunch was excellent and when Janet introduced herself to Doug after lunch, not a single person could have been more gracious.
Not to be outdone with Yo Yo having her own lane in Toronto, Brownyn discovered her own street in Sausalito.
Nice work on the shadow jobbie, Janet.  When will she finally take a photo course?
After lunch at Fish, they biked for awhile on a nice quiet bike path.  All of a sudden they arrive here:

WTF Janet thinks to herself.  She did not sign up to ride on the edge of a freeway.  Turns out, they were turning right.
How about this cute little doggie bag holder?

Sausalito is cute and Tiburon is even cuter.  Bronwyn and Meg got ahead of Janet on their bikes and Janet missed the sign for the ferry dock..twice!  By the time she finally found it, she was nearing a state of panic.  This is the view from Tiburon.

Bike line up on the ferry!  This is about half of the bikes that were on board.  The ferry from Sausalito has special bike holders which is why they can't take as many.  This ferry just tosses them in a big pile.  The chains were off both Janet and Bronwyn's bikes.
This little guy clearly likes the water.
More cocktails!
