After a very disruptive night with much commotion outside, we went out into the beautiful sunshine on today’s adventure. We started with breakfast down in the fisherman’s wharf.
We were set for the day. Our target was the Golden Gate Bridge, walking and taking in the sights, which of course started with a sea lion!
Good 
Morning
The day was set, sun shining, wind blowing and a bridge in our sights.
Alcatraz and the town behind us:
Our walk was a long one, on which we saw several fire engines but no fires, that’s probably the best way.
As we reached the bridge we realised that we could walk to the other side. So we did. The views were amazing.
On the other side we planned to have a drink, but there were no drinks! But there was a memorial and more fantastic views
On the way back I started to think about the connection the bridge makes from one side of the river to the other and the connections we make. A friend once described to me human connections being like a ball made from elastic bands, the more bands the bigger the ball, some touching, some may perish but always part of that ball. In the same way the longer we live the more connections we make some that remain for life, some just very momentary, some interlinked but always there. What matters is the quality of the connection/relationship. Whether it’s a single interaction or a lifelong relationship. The bridge created a strong, reliable, effective, attractive connection. I wonder how people would describe my connections? Hopefully something positive.
Also on the way back over the bridge we saw an ocean cleaner. Who knew there was such a thing?
Time to find a drink before leaving the bridge and moving to another great connector? The Disney museum.
As we moved off to our next destination we looked back at the bridge and forward to the town. All so beautiful
So Disney was a challenge to find and not what we expected. We are used to big and in your face, but this was the opposite. A subtle, detailed museum, with the history of Walt, his family and his business. Really amazing! Firstly we went to a special exhibit “nine old men” describing the best original animators of the business. I found a 10th old man!!!
Then in the main museum there was so much to see
So much I didn’t know!
On our way back to the hotel we became lost, but that’s a good thing when you stumble on places like this
Back to the hotel after walking 23.63km somehow David walked 3km more and being on our feet for 12hours.
