On the road to Monterey

 Santa Barbara - had as great lunch here at The Sand Bar - great Mexican!

 LouLou's Griddle in the Middle - Kirby found this place on the interwebs so we just had to give it a go!

 All the food is cooked in front of you by these friendly gents.  They do BIG breakfasts...
~
 ... as you can tell by the size of Brianna's choc chip pancake (US5.95).  This is a No stack but you can get a 2 stack or 3 stack. My Lord!

 Finally in San Francisco, we had a hop on/hop off bus pass so took a tour...

 There are so many beautiful buildings in SF, very French.

 Coloured houses - no two seem the same.  All used to be made of timber until the great fire and earthquake of 1906.  In later times they have been built and rebuilt using a fibreglass type panelling.
