Sausalito is a city in Marin County, California, across the Golden Gate Strait from San Francisco. Whilst in San Francisco it is fun to take a ferry over to Sausalito or Tiburon where you can get great views back across the bay and enjoy brunch overlooking the water.
As in the previous post this photo also refers back to that famous 1915 Expo. Close to the ferry port in downtown Sausalito is Viña del Mar Park, a small triangle-shaped park offering benches & grassy areas, and known for its elephant statues & fountain that were commissioned by William B. Faville for his ‘Court of the Universe’ complex in the 1915 Expo. He couldn’t bear to see them destroyed after the expo so had two of the elephants and a fountain shipped over to his Sausalito home. Obviously since they were made of Papier-mâché the ones you see now are replicas.
Sausalito is a good place from which to rent bikes (including electric) to ride over the Golden Gate bridge and on to the ferry terminal to return.
