Candlestick Point, California

It was a gloomy day, I said that because the clouds were dark and an impending rain was coming to the area. Deelow, Ollie and I with the dogs Corvo and Yusuf drove to Dublin and pick Ta Vans.

After visiting the Monterey Base and the exchange, we went back to the hall we passed by earlier. We parked at the front and we were lucky there were still some spots left.
