Gateway Inn Sfo Airport San Bruno

... was off at 12, wanting to got some sleep before my long flights in the morning. Again waiting in a bus stop in the middle of Mission street at the middle of the night wasn't that hot, but I finally got back to the hostel safe and sound. And that was it, sleep and off back to Israel and to work.
All and all it was a great trip, somewhat exhausting. definitely and going to come back to SF maybe even to Seattle.

... trying to lead the way in sharing plates, a relatively new concept over here. The food was fantastic and a definite mark up from the food I was experiencing in LA and Vegas. We then proceeded to a small wine bar and realising after one glass that it was a bit too full we headed to the local new gastro pub which has opened up in the area, the Tipsy Pig. It was a great night and Ben had set the bar high to continue to impress us.

Three nights in San Francisco yielded rich urban experiences I had forgotten were possible, since my time in New York City. Sensory stimuli increased exponentially and getting lost in the panorama sidewalk circus was easy. While in the city, we were guests of the ever generous and laid back, Tico, in the Outer Sunset. Arriving late on a Friday night, we were delighted when Tico guided us to a great, energetic restaurant in The Mission, called ...

... we were wrong. Very wrong! The photos seem to speak for themselves. It was messy to say the least but a great night all in all! The following day was a write off - we had planned on hiring bikes but instead we lay in bed with the worst hangovers til about 8pm at night! We managed to drag ourselves out of bed to go to visit Twin Peaks from which you can get a 360degree view of SanFrancisco from way up high. At ...

... Or the red pill, and see reality for what it truly is? I'm happy I took the red one. Like Prince Siddhartha, upon leaving his protected life in his Kingdom and for the first time seeing someone who was dead, sick and old - he realize how he was living in a dream. He was not living in reality. He was living in a sanitized existence. Sheltered. Edited. Abundant. And totally in authentic. Not the truth. As my friend Deb would say, and I think ...

... night is pub crawl night. A decent crowed of about 30 people gathered and we trundled around 2 bars and 2 clubs, I think I managed to numb the pain a little!!! Saturday was a day for doing NOTHING... I had forked out $300 the previous day for the tattoo so I sat around, reading and sleeping most of the day, I didn't venture far and decided to just chill out in the hostel bar for the evening as it was cheap and I knew most of the people there. During the day ...

... slowly realizing the community we were leaving behind really had a impact on us. We want you all to know how much we appreciate your rallying support and attention in our final days.

... in Downtown. Then, we traveled through San Francisco by car (including the Golden Gate) after lunch we went to the Aquarium (which I didnīt wanted to go, and I didnīt liked) and after that we went to the Wax Museum!!!! I loved it!!!!!!It was amazing!!!I was also very impressed beacuse a lot of people there speaks Spanish, in every place I went there was someone speaking Spanish, mostly Mexican... I knew that there is a lot of inmigrants, but never thought that much...

... of what was going to be many many flashbacks as time receded from the trip. After a quick train change at Balboa Park to the Pittsburg/Baypoint line, we were on our way to Concord and home. I had been forewarned not to be carrying anything when I entered our house because the lord of the manor, Max, would be all over me, and he was. He spent minutes jumping up on me and kissing and licking me, and wrapping around my legs. The master had returned, and life was good...
