Intro to San Francisco

---

Well, I arrived yesterday in pouring rain. Sort of like Wellington rain - cold and heavy, except it fell vertically. Here's a pic of the financial district in the rain...



It was a quiet Sunday and easy enough to orient myself towards a hostel. It's a friendly place. Last night I went to a jazz show about three blocks away with a french winemaker and a manhattan based "education broker". It was great. We walked back to the hostel around the (deserted) waterfront at 1am.








Today the weather was better. I rented a bike in the afternoon and rode to the Marin Headlands, which is across the Golden Gate Bridge and up a hill. I got to the top about an hour before sunset. The view was UNBELIEVABLE, the whole way. Just like all the other dumbstruck people taking it in, I don't think I could even start to describe it.

Next post soon.

p.s the panorama is actually HUGE. It won't show up that big here.
