My last night on "Thanksgiving San Fran Roadtrip 2009" was a difficult one.
"Okay you're going to go up that hill for about 16 blocks, then over the Golden Gate Bridge.Once you're off the 101, turn right, then left then left again, then right. You'll know what it looks like."
Ok. Quick pep talk to self. Map of strange city riding shot gun...always helpful (when you have the where with all to look down while driving crazy roads and can read maps). A sweaty, shaking version of me made it off the freeway. The lefts and rights began to blur, especially without street names.
Once in the residential of the destination I was at a loss. Areas like this one tend to have that every-house-looks-identical appeal.
I know they have a mini-van in their driveway.
There was definitely a fence.
And there was trim around the roof and an American Flag hanging...or maybe a festive turkey flag?
Mission Accomplished. Arrival at 7pm, ready for screaming children and a glass of celebratory red wine. Done and done.
