The second day in San Francisco was great too.
We started at the zoo and spent 3 hours there. Then it was off to Lombard Street to join the line up of tourists to drive down the curviest street in the world. 
I think a brake shop would be a good business to start in this town, the angles of the hills are unlike any other city I know of. Next, we had ice cream at Ben & Jerry's right on the corner of Haight and Ashbury, amongst the hippies. 
It seemed fitting that since this was the home to the Grateful Dead that my flavour ice cream was Cherry Garcia. 
As evening started to fall we knew we had to head down the highway but time for one more stop we found a cool shop called Trader Joe's. Tons of in-house brands, including their own beers! The majority of the food was organic, but the most surprising thing about the store was the prices. They were by far the best we've found, organic or not. As we left San Francisco southbound on the 280 we agreed we'll swing by here on the way back up. The next morning we had breakfast at a little-known restaurant (Scottish I think) called McDonald's. That's pretty good seeing as that's been our first Rotten Ronnie's stop of the trip. We finally found a laundromat in Santa Clara and another Trader Joe's too! After that we headed down to Gilroy - The Garlic Capitol Of The World. As you come into town through the numerous fruit stands the air smells of garlic (what a surprise). Every once in a while you pass a semi on the roads loaded with garlic bulbs.
We lunched at a barbeque restaurant, Famous Dave's. "Those were the best ribs in the world I bet," Hailey states. Our camp site is at San Luis Reservoir about 30 minutes out of town, and if you like standing under the hot air hand dryer in the public washroom, you'd like the weather. 
At Hollister, just south of here there is a motorbike rally so there been tons of bikes around. 
The sun is starting to set on our second evening here, when we see the sun again we have to make a choice. 
Either we head out to Santa Cruz on the coast or head East to the I-5 and make a run for Disneyland.
