Apparently I didn't have to go to Big Sur to see otters. Or rather, otter. Sam is a river otter who somehow made his way to the Sutro Baths and has taken up residence. After hearing about this amazing creature I decided I absolutely had to see him. Since I live in the neighborhood, I popped over one evening to catch the sunset, hoping to see Sam! No otter, but the sunset was beautiful!

Luckily my friend Christine was in town the next weekend visiting from Hawaii, so I took her on the Land's End Trail, starting near the Legion of Honor with gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge and around the point to Sutro Baths. And there was Sam!

After watching Sam frolic across the pool for a bit, we climbed up the hill for the aerial view and ate our sandwiches. We noticed a hawk lurking low in the sky...

And the next thing we knew, a poor rat was was being carried off into the wind.
