... was tailgate to tailgate and we were running very late for dinner with Ben’s friend Devon and his family. In fact they had already eaten by the time we eventually turned up. It took us another bridge (the Bay Bridge) to get to them which also was rammed.

The Bay Bridge – This is a huge span bridge that connects the east side of the bay to San Francisco and has cars going out driving underneath the cars coming in to town. It is not ...

... the car to head out to Alamo Square and Golden Gate Park. The amazing thing about San Fran is the complete defiance of topography in the grid street layout... no hill is too steep for a road to go straight over! Some streets seem as steep as Mum's and Butch's driveway (for those of you who know it) and you are expected to be able to reverse parallel park... always remember to turn you wheels against the curb in case your hand brake fails. We got some good ...

... and down town, just looking, and not feeling the need to DO so much. I had to laugh that when I wandered through the Botanical Gardens, and decided to take a look at the NZ section, earlier in the week, I found it was closed off for the month of March. Only the NZ section it seems, and only when I'm visiting SF. Ha. The japanese gardens in GG park are well worth a visit (there's a couple of mornings a week where entry ...

We ended up hitting a lot of traffic while driving through San Francisco. The cool part about it was being able to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge was crowded with a lot of people taking in the view of the bay--and I must say the bridge does offer a wonderful view of the city by the bay. We also lucked out in that they weren't charging a toll today.

Since I couldn't fall asleep last night after Sarah left (stupid Claritin), I got some work out of the way so I could have some play time today -- my last full day in the city since my conference starts tomorrow afternoon near the airport. I had a morning meeting with a Fortune reporter about Cleveland's solar initiative and another scheduled with USA Today, but that got bumped until tomorrow. Fortune's building is near the wharf and I ...

... so yesterday i went for a walk over the Golden Gate Bridge, its really good and you get amazing views of the city! then i went for a walk down the 'crookidest street', its all windy as the hill its on is sooo steep! then i got a cable car to fishermans wharf. so touristy, full of gift shops and seafood resturants. but it was fun to walk around. then i went and got my ticket for alcatraz as a girl in the hostel i spoke to said she qeued for over 2 hours ...

So we're back in Marin County, back to the same RV place we had stayed at before. Since Albert doesn't have to be back to work until the 2nd, we decided to treat these last few days as the last bit of our vacation. My parents are still with us too, since they haven't seen much of this side of the Golden Gate bridge either. Saturday we didn't do a whole lot. It was moving day, and took a while to get here from Isleton. Plus, it was a gray, gloomy day anyway, so we ...

... Bridge tomorrow? Free internet here but very busy most the time though I'm alone here at this time in the morning! Doesn't seem to be anywhere to charge my phone via USB or upload any photos. Free breakfast soon, probably toast and cerials I guess. see google street map of where I'm staying.
