... and energy use in Latin America,  I am excited to broaden my understanding of the exploitaiton of people and resources, and possible alternative solutions in the countries that i will be visiting through participant observation.  Adittionally, I plan on strengthening my body through the oppertunities for recreational activities that i have come to love ...

... today so we can plan some things which was a night in the Crowne Plaza in Beverly Hills. Fancy!! 06/03 - Happy Australian Birthday to me! We caught the "Historic Tram", which is another word for very old tram that should probably no longer be in use, back around to Pier 39 where we hired push bikes to ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. We rode along the waterfront which was really nice, then we had to get up a big hill! I pushed ...

... ja Starbucks zit overal natuurlijk. Na het ophalen van de auto zijn we met behulp van TomTom naar Lombardstreet gegaan...opzicht is dit een hele lange straat, maar het ging ons om een klein stukje. Het gedeelte dat men het kronkeligste straat ter wereld noemt. Dit gedeelt slingert naar beneden en komt in bijna elke film voor. TomTom leide ons keurig naar de goed plek, alleen de route er naar toe was best wel eng, we moesten een paar straten op en af die ERG ...

... I should avoid. Mamma Mia! I like where I am staying. Very central and safe feeling. After I settled into my room I walked down to Fisherman's Wharf and explored. My experience with San Francisco is such a contrast to Vegas: - Chilly and windy instead of warm (miss the warm) - Free internet in my room not $9.95/day - One room with a shared bathroom instead of having a room so big you get lost - Peaceful sounds not the clinging of the slot machines, yelps of ...

... from a fort used in a triangular protection system during the gold rush, to military prison, to federal prison to ultimate closure. It held some of the most notorious criminals of the day, Al Capone, The Birdman & a few others society deemed were not even fit for ordinary correctional facilities. There were a few escape attempts but no one survived, I can now see why, the water was freezing, the winds blowing and it was a very long swim to shore. After ...

Due to the train fiasco we got into San Francisco late at night. This is one of my main traveling pet hates, and try to avoid it. Its much harder to find where your trying to go at night. Plus, most bus and train stations are not in the most desirable parts of town. I never feel comfortable lugging my bag around at night in an unfamiliar place. On the positive side though, we came into the city over the Bay Bridge at dusk and the city lights were beginning to illuminate. Quite a sight ...

... at 4th -- so I bailed at 7th and zipped along Bryant ... until 4th Street. Then traffic just stopped. I didn't move for eight minutes (I counted) so decided to shut off the engine. Sat for another seven minutes. I could see the on-ramp ... and NO ONE was getting on the Bridge. A nightmare. Took me an extra 45 minutes to get home. Sigh. At least I never really adjusted to East Coast time.

... in Wall, SD at Wall Drug which had been advertised as the place to visit across the whole of the state. Lots of kitsch but not up to expectations. Alex did ride the enormous jackalope on the grounds, however. The Badlands are in fact "bad". This rocky landscape is hot and desolate. It was appropriately used as the backdrop for a scene in the movie Starship Troopers. It reminded us of the area around Uluru in the Australian Outback. We hiked several of the shorter trails ...
