Okay so i am posting this as i wait for my plane to Chitown to board. I had a great time in San Fran i wish i had more time. So in the few days i had in this city i think i got alot done .. I saw most of the places in the city, Went to two university campuses (Berkeley and Stanford) Went down to Silicon Valley area .. Let me point out one awesome thing that i did without any planning at all which is the scenic 49 mile route I saw one of the signs while driving in downtown SF and just kept following and it takes you around all the cool views in the city. If you are in San Francisco and rented a car i highly recommend you do this. Its lots of fun and sort of a scavenger hunt trying to follow the signs to find out what is the next attraction on the way :)


Alright my flight is boarding .. i gotta go .. but i will post more about the awesome things i saw/did later.

You have to go back there is so much to see and do there. A cool place to visit is the "cliff house" just off presidio. It has a game arcade but all the games are mechanical [almost museum pieces but you can play them]. It overlooks the pacific and there is a bar/restaurant etc.

Anyway, you could spend a very long time in SF and not run out of things to do [my third favorite city].

Glad you had a good time.

Now Chitown - get out quick :wink:

I also got to go to Ruby Skye a old theater that was converted to a night club and Steve Lawler was spinning that night. The place is really nice with two huge dance floors. The crowd was very interesting and gay .. but its SF so its expected. Also its house music which isn't very popular in the US anyway. I met a lesbian couple who made me take pictures of them while they where making out at the bar :lol: so ya i had a great night hahah
