Dear Stacie,
I am so happy that you are coming to visit me this summer. I hope that you will be able to stay until July 4. We are planning a big picnic on that day to celebrate America's Independence Day.
You asked for directions to my house from the airport, so here they are. First, pick up your rental car. I recommend Hertz or Avis. They are the biggest care rental companies here. Next, drive out of the airport and turn north on U. S. Highway 101. Go about one mile and take the first exit. Follow the signs to State Highway 1, which soon becomes Nineteenth Avenue. You will pass San Francisco State University, Shriner's Hospital, and a large shopping center. Continue on Nineteenth Avenue through Golden Gate Park. Then you will come to a bridge. This is the famous Golden Gate Bridge. Drive across it and continue north for about ten miles. You will pass the towns of Sausalito, Mill Valley and Larkspur. In Larkspur, take the Sir Francis Drake Boulevard exit from the freeway. Drive west for three blocks, and then turn left. Pacific National Bank is on the corner where you turn, and across the street is a Shell gas station, a Safeway grocery store, and another bank. You will be on Elm Avenue. Finally, go one block on Elm and then turn right. My apartment is in the Marina Towers. The address is 155 Hillside Drive.
I look forward to seeing you. Be sure to bring warm clothes because it is cold in June and July in Northern California. In fact, sometimes it is colder in the summer than it is in the fall.
