... book Civilization, and I just had to see the place. Since then I have fallen, like so many before me, for the Venerable Bede and look forward to seeing his place again. <br> York will be entirely new to me, so P and I will see it as equals. What with one of the greatest cathedrals in the world, a complete Roman wall and THE GREATEST Train Museum. I think that will do for the nonce.<br>next text<br>Oakland and CA<br>cheers<br>
Oakland, California, United States auldsod... head back to the Financial district to walk around there. Completely different atmosphere almost immediately. Funny how that is. We head down to the BART to take the train back home. <br><br>Marshall has started his Homebrewers Conference while I am blogging in the room. Our room overlooks the Oakland shipping are and further San Francisco. I can see the fog off in the distance preparing to descend on San Francisco. <br ...
Oakland, California, United States sherrivilano... of Livermore, so we finally got out of the room knowing we'd see some new cool stuff soon. We rolled into Oakland around lunchtime and were really hungry so we got off at a random exit to look around. I think we were not in a very good part of town, but we're not from here, so we don't know for sure. After looking a place up we found a really good mexican joint. Small little place, but excellent food ...
Oakland, California, United States adeana... as mine... The tour took us to, among others, Twin Peaks. These are two hills of exactly the same height from which you get the most breathtaking view of the city. The whole week in SF was worth it just for that moment. We then spent a couple of hours at Muir Woods, a magical place full of giant redwoods and Enid Blyton-esque fantasy. I'm in Antigua, Guatemala as I write this entry and those days in SF seem a long way away. But some of the best of my life.
San Francisco, California, United States lawyer-to-be... with this, or perhaps the age of the zoo. It was a good, relaxed day however, the sun was out and the stroll around was good. Highlights - the Polar Bears (aged 27, 27 & 29), the Grizzly bears and of course the big cats. 3 6 month old Tiger Cubs were still with their mum, but by crikey they put our little kitty cat to shame, but we still love him to bits. The feeding of the Penguins was also ...
San Francisco, California, United States oldfield... reader and because we did that last year, it picked us up instantly. That is good I guess - can't be confused with some undesirable! Back to the car - a really strange setup! After completing all the documents and blah blah, we were directed to the car park where all the rental cars were located. Each agency has its own area in the terminal building. Expecting them to bring our car to us we stood waiting - and waiting - and waiting till ...
San Francisco, California, United States judencharlie... a long period of time tells me, if you're going to go away from home for that long the only way to really do it is to find a place to live for awhile during the trip. I certainly agree. I guess my obsessive compulsive nature kept me going up until about New Zealand. I thought that my visit with Ann and Chris in Auckland had rejuvenated me but really what it had done was made me realize how much I missed living in one place for a bit and how ...
Oakland, California, United States jkirbyDay 33 More sleeping in for me. I'm starting to feel lazy. But I had to run some errands. So it's time to get some things done. I think. I went out to get some things, which didn't really work out in my favor. So I returned back to Carrie's place. We went to Nomad Cafe again to hang out and use the internet. I thought I was being productive. When we got back, time to pack ...
Oakland, California, United States vcfighters... experience too thin. So, I pondered what I really wanted to accomplish at the onset, and got back to the basics. I'm limiting the scope of my travels, for this trip, to Asia. And I feel really great about it. I've uploaded a new map here, and am still planning for roughly 2-3 months on the road. I'm going to buy one way tickets as I go, so that I'll have the utmost flexibility in the length of time I stay in each ...
San Francisco, California, United States suzettespwo wo wo... Today Anita and I went to her friend Carolina, from El Salvador, who lives in a huuuge mansion in the fancy area of SF. CArolina isn`t the owner of the villa but she is sorta the housekeeper and right now the family who is supposed to live there is on the east coast for a couple of months. So, yeah we went there to pick apples and get a tour of the mansion. AND OH MY GAWD ( sayin it in a truly californian way) that was like CRIBS ...
