04/10/12: San Francisco I

We are out of LA and now spending a couple of days in San Francisco before heading home to Oz. First, though, some photos we missed posting earlier…

We saw very little of LA, so it hard to relate our impressions. Suffice to say the car is king, and their freeways are enormous…and traffic jams to match. We spent the afternoon at Universal Studios in the heat and crowds.  We were there for 4 hours and probably only saw half of what they had to offer.

After catching our flight, we made it to our hotel in the centre of San Francisco about 4.30 this afternoon. We are near the CBD (just a block north of Market Street), and a quick look around to find a city reminding us of New York (traffic wise). Dinner was in a little restaurant nearby – the food was marvellous.

Tomorrow is touring day – taking in the sights and places (including Alcatraz).

  1. Does this mean I have to start packing my suitcases! Grrrrr! Can't we become illegal immigrants? We could disguise ourselves as Mexicans!
