A ferry ride to Sausalito

If you hang out here,at Sausalito,long enuogh,they say, you could run into Andre Agasse or even have a word with Steffi Grafi.They live here. But then we needed no excuse for spending time.Our ferry back to San Francisco was still nearly an hour away.

Spending time was no problem. For Nikhil and Sidharth could so many things, such as ....Watching cars
Hanging out on the seafront.
Running around in the park by the pier.
Taking a piggyback ride.
Even feed a white parrot. The bloke in white who owns the parrot can mimick the bird.He appears to have found himself a lucrative means of employing himself. No mean achievement in a recession.
He has a way with children.Sidharth,fasciated with the proceedings was asked to look through a white tube called 'The Quiet Baby Machine'.I couldn't figure out what this was all about;asked Sidharth what was it he saw through the tube. A white bird, said Sidharth;the same bird the rest of us could see without having to look into the white tube.We ended up tipping the man for the privilege.

On the ferry Sidharth went out on the open deck with daddy to take in the sights.Sausalito is 30-minute ferry ride from San Francisco. A quiet bayside town with the trappings of a resort Sausalito is where the millionaires live.
Hollywood clebrities come to stay at The Inn Above Tide. The cheapest room here is priced $400 a day. But then everything about this bayside town appears pricey.And town's residents make no bones about retaining a classy look.I don't know if this is true, but I heard the residents have resisted Macdonald from setting up a burger shop at Sausalito,presumably, because having a Mac in town scales it down.
Bikes appear to in fashion in this town. Green-minded tourists hire bikes at Sausalito, or bring them from San Francisco for moving around Sausalito high street by the bayside.
Bikes parking is free at designated areas in town.
