Tourist Walk in the City, Saturday April 4th

You are invited to join me for a long day in the city—we’ll start out early in Golden Gate Park and check out the lines at the new Academy of Sciences (most likely won't go inside this trip), go into the greenhouse, walk around Stow Lake, go to the busiest Dim Sum place in the world for lunch, then over to the mysterious lighthouse at Point Bonita behind the land-before-time door. Rain Cancels this event!

What? Tourist Day in the City – a lot of walking

When? Saturday April 4th – starting at 8:30 AM at the Page Mill Rd. park-n-ride.

Where? Meet at the commuter parking lot at the intersection of 280 and Page Mill Rd. in Palo Alto. The parking lot is right next to 280. If coming from the south, exit at Page Mill Rd. and turn left. Go under the bridge: parking lot is on your left.

We will drive as a group to Golden Gate Park, then 736 Clement for Dim Sum, then Cross the Golden Gate Bridge to Pt. Bonita.
