La Honda & Old La Honda Roads Behind Stanford University (see p125) is the quiet town of Portola Valley. From here, these picturesque switchback roads ascend to meet Skyline Drive. They are very narrow in places, and you can t go more than 10 mph (16 kmph), but the timeless beauty of the Bay Area forests makes it worthwhile.

The Richmond District This flat district of row houses begins at Masonic Street, sandwiched between Golden Gate Park and California Street. It ultimately extends all the way to the Pacific Ocean, being more and more prone to stay fog-bound the farther west you go. The district is very ethnically diverse and resound ingly middle class. Over the decades, it has been settled montague on the green by White Russians, East European Jews, and most recently Chinese-Americans and another wave of Russians. d Map C3
