Liz Travels: August 2012

Sunday - John Muir house, Martinez - Eugene O'Neill House, Danville

Tao House - Built with $$ award for Nobel Prize

Luggage House for their 18 Louis Vuitton trunks - pool - view from all rooms in main house.

Back home through Rio Vista and River Road. Stopped in Locke for Chinese food.. I got this photo, but we didn't stay for dinner.

We did stop in Freeport for dinner.

We followed the admonition!

We'd enjoyed the tour of Eugene O'Neill's Danville home so much that we were looking forward to watching The Iceman Cometh, last night. We watched about half and it was like having an insect boring into the brain! So much for Mr. O'Neill.

Benicia and Crockett - East Bay

Dinner at The Dead Fish overlooking the Carquinez Bridge in Crockett

And Yet Another Trip to Marin County...Lucky Me!

Betty and I went to Tiburon on Friday and Angel Island on Saturday. This was my 3rd trip to Tiburon and second to Angel Island in August. Each were wonderful and different.
