A trip to West coast

As a part of my job, i am required to travel again to US this year.. But this time, i am in the west coast for a difference this month. This place looks and feels very different when compared to the east. I will reserve my comments of which one is better when compared to another..

Last weekend i did a trip to pier 39 and Golden Gate bridge. The previous day, i looked up the public transport details to go to both the places. Then we drove over to Freemont and took the public transport to pier 39 and golden gate bridge. The walk to pier 39 from pier 1 was absolutely awesome.. And so was the Golden Gate bridge. We were so thankful that we did not take our car all the way up to SFO. The traffic was horrible and given that me and my other team mate were totally new to this part of US, we would have a hard time with the directions.




This weekend we happened to go for a longer drive along the coast to half moon bay-> pigeon point -> 17 mile drive -> bixby creek bridge. This ride was really enjoyable (given the fact that i didnt drive a single mile of the 300 mile drive). The weather was very pleasant.. a bit cold at times.. and the scenes were awesome. We had a minor scare when the right rear tire blew up on the way home.. But we sort of managed to trudge along..
