    The last leg of the excursion was to North Shore.
    We started at North Head, which was a military lookout. Men were stationed here because they were anticipating a Russian invasion. The picture of the stairs is where someone sat for 4 years on the lookout for an invasion that never came. Instead, the "city" below/inside the mountain became a place where HS students did a little hanky panky until the adults caught on.
    After North Shore, we went to West Haven, which is the largest marina in the southern hemisphere (largest is Marina del Ray in San Francisco). There are boats upon boats plus yachts in the marina. From the bridge, we saw people bungee jump off of it.

    Beautiful day. Amazing views.
