I wanted to yell, "Winner, winner, Chicken dinner", but I knew they wouldn't know what the hell I was saying.

After you come home from doing all day whatever it is you do to afford such a place, the Pacific and the Golden Gate can be seen through your windows.

This area is maybe just due West of the Lincoln Park golf course. You can continue West/South along the trail from this point and the [url=http://www.cliffhouse.com/]Cliff House[/url] is not far away.
