Nob Hill
hehe - purely for my own simple minds amusement! Hi there again!
Spent a few wonderful days in San Francisco which I am grateful for because it confirmed what I was hoping - that not all of America is like LA and Vegas.
San Francisco is very cute - just as I remember it from the opening credits on Full House. All the little apartments on top of each other and the well known cable cars.
I walked all over the CBD and harbour area on the first day which was painful because San Franciso is a myriad of hills, very steep hills. The next day I spent with a girl from Germany riding a bike around town, the waterfront and over the Golden Gate Bridge to a little community call Sausilto. Once again, hills. I was completely exhausted but well worth it. While I was crossing the Golden Gate bridge I had images from all the dooms day movies where the big earthquake hits and the GG bridge becomes a big wobbling mess but we survivied!
Beck - I watched The Sweetest Thing just after leaving San Francisco, I didn't realise that it was based there so it was quiet funny watching the movie and
seeing all the places I'd been walking in the day before.
Of course I did the trip over to Alcatraz while I was there, typical tourist. It was an eye opener, I didn't realise how small the cells were and how torturing the hole really would have been. There is a lot of history in one little place but it is most know for the jail even though it was only one for a small period of time.
Anyway - I hope everyone is keeping well.
