7. Thanks, Callalily!

Golden Gate Park is enormous and there is lots to see there. If you have Google Earth, the Dahlia Garden is located next to the Conservatory, at: 37°46'21.06"N 122°27'33.32"W

The day was great for strolling, if a bit on the cool side. Skies were overcast, and it was in the mid-sixties, but not too breezy. Weather in The City can be kinda nasty during the summer.

I would spend hours there.

8. Thanks, Solly Mack!

My wife works for one of the sponsors of the America's Cup, so we'll be going back in to The City tomorrow to be part of the Louis Vitton Cup races, which determine who will challenge the current defender in the America's Cup finals.

We'll be down on the Embarcadero for that.
