Last day in 'Frisco
We're off to pick up our motorhome (RV), this afternoon. Back to the life of itenerants, living in Californian, rather than Yorkshire fields.
Had booked Alcatraz this morning, but we're going to have to try and sell these tickets on (Round trip for Rita, One Way for me)as we need to pick up RV at 2:00 p.m.
Am now sitting in hotel lobby, browsing progress of football back in England - as it's 4:41 p.m. over there (8:41 am here). After last week's result, maybe I should take a rest from footy this season.
Had a Japanese meal last night, including some Sake which came in square receptacle and overflowed into the saucer - traditional Japanese custom.
Ey up - Rita's about to tek over.....
Indeed I am. And this Sake turned out to be 16% proof. When he emerged into the city lights it became apparent that Leigh was not as sober as he may have presumed, swaying slightly and going in completely the opposite direction to 'home'. We ended up in Borders at 10.30pm (hey, man this IS a 24 hour city!), and ordered creme brulee coffees. Looking into Leigh's eyes (well, he was sitting directly opposite me and I perforce had to look up on occasion), I noticed that his eyes were bloodshot and half closed. I kept my observations to myself. A moment later Leigh mumbled that he was 'terribly terribly tired'; as we were esconced on high stools I decided immediately to leave him there in case he fell off - I would not be involved in the embarrassing situation of having to deal with human crashes in the tranquillity of Border's bookshop. (If only...!).
Blogging off again now as have to become ticket touts and sell our Alcatraz tickets as alas no can do.

Hi, glad you're enjoying your travels. Got your postcard this morning - you say you haven't had enough time in the cities - true of course, but you have to leave something for the next time.
Enjoy the rest of California. I'm envious. At this time of year it must be glorious.
