Those Sewage Again!

Oops - I mean segway. How funny that I spelled it that way. These folks were being instructed how not to "freak out" going down a hill. We freaked out for them as the descended into the San Francisco Bay from the Angel Island Nike Missile site. Surreal.

Taking a Hiking Break to Enjoy the View

Here we all are taking a break from our hike on Angel Island to enjoy the view of San Francisco. Ben set the pace by taking a seat every time we found a place to take in the view. At one point he pulled out a handy dandy sheet and took a nap. Ben is all about leisure.

Ike the Bike on the Angel Island Ferry

I took Ike the Bike on an Angel Island hike today with some friends and my cousin Ben. (Say that ten times fast). Angel Island sits in the San Francisco Bay very close to Tiburon on the Marin coast. Our little group met at the Oakland Ferry which we took to San Francisco Pier 41, then switched ferries to take us to Angel Island. We managed to then hook up with some of my parents friends who were visiting from Stamford, Connecticut. The most amazing thing about this day was that I only knew Ben and by the end I had six new friends.

Here's Ike on the ferry. He is just loving the views. Can you see him smiling? When we got to the Island I left him by the ferry so that he could admire the other cyclists as we hiked.
