We took off from Bangkok on June 7th. Destination California for my daughters graduation from UC Santa Barbara and a tour of California and southern Oregon.
I am lucky to have a close friend since university living in Marin County Ca. His house was the first stop on the journey.
Crossing the Golden Gate and arriving at Chez Mike on a beautiful day.
Mike sent a car for us.
Nice house
The next day was a big surprise, Mike is a car collector and these are his latest since I last saw him 3 years ago. First a Lamborghini.
Then a Ferrari and a Shelby Cobra.
Friday night was game 7 of the NBA finals Warriors vs Cavs. On the flight from Bangkok to Tokyo I had a shock on the inflight entertainment they had the Cavs Warriors game 6 live. The game made the flight fly by.
The bar as you enter the home theater.
Seating
The start of the game and drinking. Don Julio is good tequila...
The next day was the Belmont Stakes horse race so we went over to Golden Gate Fields to make some bets, see Mikes new horse, "Angelo's Pride" and then watch the Belmont there.
Angelo's Pride, just a lovely 2 year old who would run his first race and come third the next day. He would have won but it was his first time out of the starting gate.
Racing on a lovely day.
Much more to come, but falling asleep due to late arrival and jet lag.
