We are about five weeks away from leaving the Bay Area, the place where I have essentially spent my whole life. And so a bit of panic sets in as to what should be done in the next five weeks if we were to never return....what activities, what restaurants, sporting events, what is it that makes this place special? And so all life experiences here need to be quantified and judged to determine whether they need to be repeated, whether we need to be reminded, or in the instance of a restaurant, whether it is worth the money, calories and time to go there to commemorate our exit from this place. A bit like a last supper, if you will, last meal, what to do for the next five weeks when given the opportunity?
Do we go to Fisherman's Wharf to Scoma's for seafood, followed by a walk to The Buena Vista for Irish coffees? Do we head out to the wine country for an afternoon of tasting followed by lunch in Yountville? Do I finally bicycle across the Golden Gate Bridge like I have been meaning to do for years? Do we head to Marin for an afternoon of sun, seafood and Sam's? Giant's game after drinks at Momo's? Ferry Building farmer's market? Betelnut on Union Street? House of Prime Rib? Sunset at Spanish Bay watching the bagpipers? It is hard to quantify what all these mean to me, and what I actually want to represent my last few days...
I will share as the decisions unfold, as well as the determination of whether the right choices were made. Any suggestions?
guess i'd skip the seafood, as you'll get good seafood in hawaii. but good mexican i'd prolly stock up on. :) hey, you could ride your bike from the presidio (park in the presidio) to tiburon and then have lunch at guaymas. the ride there isn't bad but the ride back gets really bad right before the bridge (bad hill). i'd be walking that part...
