The Spectacular Flight Home
I flew back to San Francisco the other day. The flight from Shanghai is simply spectacular, as you spend the night over the northern Pacific ocean, arriving on the Oregon Coast just as the sun rises over the Cascades. From there you follow all the way down the coast of California, with Mt. Shasta looming in the distance, eventually arriving in the bay area around 8 am.
Here are the pics I took from my window seat:

Mt. Shasta, probably about 500 miles away.
The San Andreas fault at Bodega Bay, just north of Pt. Reyes in Marin County. The fault has ripped an enormous gash in the earth, allowing the Pacific Ocean to flow in. I had a hard time explaining this phenomenon to the elderly Chinese women sitting next to me, but I think I got the message through.
Wing over Marin County
Now my heart was really pumping...
San Francisco from the sky!!
