After a short drive over the Golden Gate we changed the Mercury in a Ford Taurus, which we had in former times. Once again over the Golden Gate then the Highway 1 along the coast to north. First stop was "Bodega Bay" where we visited the famous school of Alfred Hitchcocks "The Birds".

Two hours later we visited the "Sea Ranch Chapel", a small but very interesting chapel. The winding roof consists of zedern wood and copper; the striking spire of bronze was inspired by a wind-tousled tree.
