Today was a perfect San Francisco day - not a cloud in the sky, the tourists migrated to the other side of the city for the gay pride parade, and the roads were wide open. So of course we met up with Rob and Emily and made our way across the bridge and out of the city. Driving into Marin we parked at the base of Mt. Tam in Mill Valley and began our way up hundreds of steps. Emily, always the styley one, was in perfect German Tourist Club attire but not perfect hiking clothes which made for good conversation the first hundred or so steps.
After climbing up the steepest part of the Dipsey Trail, only getting lost once, we arrived at the German Tourist Club. The Club is a handful of cabins built into the side of the mountain that serves excellent German beer and snacks. We were of course starving for a perfect German lunch but found ourselves sipping delicious beers and snacking on beef stick, chips, and pickle - different than large pretzels and sausage but the snacks were much appreciated after the long hike. Scattered around the many porches were a mix of tourists and locals ranging from 3 years old to 70 years old. What a perfect day.
