We hurried around in time to cross the Richmond bridge over the north end of San Francisco Bay and head to Danville to catch a 10:00 bus to the Eugene O'Neil National Historic Site. Unfortunately you are supposed to park in a municipal lot which is the scene of the Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. Then when we did find a parking spot, we hurried to the bus stop only to find it leaving because it only has 12 seats, and it was full.
Judy was not pleased. We found a paper, reparked the car in a spot good for 4 hours, got a bite to eat, etc. and were first in line for the 12:00 bus. The site is a house the O'Neils lived in from 1937 to 1944. We were ready to return in 20 minutes, but the bus stayed an hour and a half. This was site 354 for Bill, but a definite negative from Judy. We went back to Richmond to visit the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Site and Memorial. It is still being developed, but we had an hour and a half walk around the Bay. The walk was definitely the high point of Judy's day. Site 355 if you are
counting. Smoke and noise trapped Judy in the tent from suppertime until bedtime. Not the best day of this trip.
