Scaling new Haights

Two days we spent walking around San Francisco taking in the sights and enjoying the city.
Alcatraz was certainly a very fun tip, we didn't know what to expect, it was very enjoyable. We were lucky to have a very bright day and the cruise to the Rock gave us a very nice view of the Bay area. Alcatraz itself is very well preserved all things considering and seeing what conditions were like for the erstwhile inmates.

Yesterday we walked Haight street, a famous San Francisco landmark. Last time I was there I walked it from the bottom upwards, this time we were smart n taking a bus to the top and walk the street from there. Some interesting clothes shops and outright weird books shops were there to be seen and we had a good time.

Today we're heading to Sacramento to visit our friend Tom that lives there.

Can't resist: did you wear a flower in your hair?

(shite song, that is)

Ik begin zo langzamerhand overtuigd te raken over de Grand Canyon en omstreken. Ik mijn koffers maar eens pakken...

hehe, no actual flowers were worn on our trip :-)
Die song heeft wel een dag in Marja's hoofd gezeten toen we er waren :-P

Ik kan het je alleen maar aanraden om deze omgeving te komen bekijken, het is hier erg plezant.
