Day 3 - From the Pacific Ocean to "Evita"

 

Breakfast at the Hilton...

 

Hiking at the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. From this mid-peninsula high ground one can see the towers of San Francisco to the north and all the way to San Jose at the south end of the Bay Area...

Dinner at Scott's was most excellent. I had the sesame crusted Ahi Tuna grilled rare, sweet jasmine rice, baby bok choy and ponzu sauce. Perhaps I should have suspected that where there's ginger, there's wasabi, but the wasabi was hiding, and unsuspecting, I took a full hit! I nearly ended up on the floor! I had briefly excused myself to the gentlemen's lounge when the waiter delivered our entrees to the table, so I missed his wasabi warning. And "someone" failed to pass this crucial warning on to me upon my return to the table... I'll say this - my head was extremely clear for Evita!
