As we decided to not stay at Yosemite Valley (due to the heavy smoke) we continued to Petaluma and encountered this fantastic sunset shortly before we reached Vallejo.

The next morning we wanted to explore Point Reyes National Seashore, but the clouds prevented more sophisticated photos. Anyway, the road towars the lighthouse, and the whole Point Reyes area is simply beautiful. If only there were no clouds!

Here, we are already on our way to Redwood City to visit Petra's family. The clouds chased away by a strong wind, and immediately we could do some more photos of the Shoreline Highway.

We decided to stay the afternoon at Stanford University, which impressed us very much with its wide streets, like Palm Drive above.

"The Oval" invites for a rest after the walking tour.

Stanford University offers many scenic views, be it this building...

...or the Canfor Center for Visual Art, which is home to a museum.

The Hoover Tower at Stanford University hosts the Visitor Information which will provide you with a free map.

The Memorial Court at Stanford University.

And so a great vacation and honeymoon to the home of the Stars and Stripes banner ends. We enjoyed it very much, and we hope you did so as well. :-)
