SiriusCreations' trip to the USA: 01 September 2008.

San Simeon, CA - Novato, CA

estimated distance: 235 miles (378 kilometers)

With a very quick San Francisco visit, before I go to my hotel in Novato.

Well I started today later than planned and to decide to make the 2 hours Hearst Castle tour and go to Novato by US 101 or take the Hwy 1 from San Simeon to San Francisco.



I know I am disappointing some of you to only have this picture, but I chose to take Hwy 1.



This lonely Seal I saw on the beach near Hearst Castle



About 4 miles to the North there was a vista point calles Elephant Seal Point. There you not only saw Elephant Seal but also a bunch of other anials















And for those who love lighthouses here ar two. I am sure more will come the next days.







And here some pictures taken from Golden Gate National Recreational Area.









After I checked in to my hotel I drive to the new house in Santa Rosa of SST members GenericDragon and Peaches. Especially for me they stopped painting and had a nice mexican dinner at a local mexican restaurant. It was great to meet them and had a wonderful evening. Of course I needed to see the Statues of Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Santa Rosa is the work town of creator Charles M Schulz and All over the city you see some of those statues. Here a link to Snoopy's Hometown.
