Bay area, or the Chinese food weekend

Last weekend I took advantage of a business trip to stop in the Bay Area. We spent the weekend with M's mom and enjoyed the area. Saturday I took them to Big Basin Redwood Park where we enjoyed the sight of a forest of giant trees. Just to give you an idea of the dimensions:


We finished the day by a Chinese Banquet with KY's old classmates and friends (I don't think I've ever had that much Chinese food in a meal).
The next day we met an old friend of M's for a Dim Sum brunch and headed for the Golden Gate. The view on San Francisco was crystal clear:

The bridge always as impressive as ever and I got M and KY to discover a viewpoint they didn't know of:

It felt like the perfect day to sail around the bay, that reminded me a day a while back Katel, Frl and I sailed around in Eric's boat.

We continued the relax afternoon by a walk on windy Pier 39, having an ice cream or two, watching the street shows and enjoying the view on Alcatraz. We spent quite some time looking at this French Luxury Restaurant Boat (with 2 American flags) which was built by some eccentric billionaire.

We finished the day with even more Chinese food at a dinner with M's relatives.
The rest of the series is here.
