Mark & Robyn's Travels
Our two-plus day's adventure is coming to an end. Today we flew back home to Dallas. Not much happened other than a great cab ride and me having to carry three loaves of sour dough bread on to the plane. But first we started with breakfast and ended up at the Hollywood Café; when we like something it is hard to get us to change. Once again we ignored the um 'spectacular' breakfast buffet at the hotel. I had the biggest and freshest fruit salad I have ever eaten.
We grabbed a cab and had the happiest cab driver I have ever experienced. He was originally from India but had lived in the San Francisco area for the past 30 years. He was a big NFL fan so we talked about how bad both the Cowboys and 49ers were, so it was a fun ride and I gave him a big tip. Our flight back was uneventful thank God. Robyn took some pictures from the cab on our way out of town, and some of them are familiar sites she took on the way into town and are self-explanatory. However, she did get a good shot of the clock tower at the ferry building that was one of the few structures that survived the 1906 earthquake. It became the center-piece of the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition, hence the date 1915 at the top.
Our travels are not over for the weekend, as we are leaving tomorrow morning to fly to Lubbock for the Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State football game.
Update: After jumping out to a 17 - 0 lead and leading for most of the game Tech once again broke our hearts by losing to Okie State 70 - 53. After we flew home from the game on Sunday we both got sick, a little too much travel in a short period and that game was enough to make anybody ill.
