San Francisco and Northern California – New Years 2013-4

My second visit to the Bay Area and beyond took place over the New Year’s holiday in 2013. Once again, I was spending time with my friends Jeff and Nikki who were staying in Trinidad California. We spent New Year’s in San Francisco and then toured the Eureka/Arcadia region near the California-Oregon border. What a great week.
