A few days in San Francisco; Alamo rental and Muir Woods

Sunday

Busy morning; made a few calls to rental firms in the area and finally found a free car at Alamo, Bush St. Booked it and went down to the reception and booked a wine tour as well - more about that in a later blog post. We picked up the car after a breakfast at the Starbucks next to the hotel. Hadn't made any plans more than to go to Muir Woods and check out Highway 1 north of San Francisco.

The stop at Muir Woods was great. We stayed for three to four hours.

Lost?!

It's definitely worth a trip with its gigantic trees and nice trails.

After Muir Woods we continued on the Highway 1 beach trail going north. Stopped for lunch at the Parkside Cafe at sleepy Stinson Beach Park. Great food, mostly locals hanging out in the backside serving area.

We took the road to Petaluma but didn't stop at the village's premium outlet. Had to get back to San Francisco and return the car.

Well, ten minutes late... Alamo Rentals closed. Oops. Both me and Jenny are time optimists, but this was all my fault. Shouldn't have tried to squeeze in Petaluma. Well, no worries. Found a garage at Sutter and Stockton - returning the car tomorrow.

Closed the day with a dinner at Sanraku, Sutter and Taylor St - best sushi in San Francisco?!
