San Francisco Sights

Here are a few photos from my quick trip to San Francisco today.  I met up with my friend Arwyn – we hadn’t seen each other in 12 years!  She took me on a coffee shop tour through her neighborhood and then we went to the BART station and headed in to the city.

We started at Union Square but decided not to spend any money shopping!  I got some pictures of Macy’s, Saks, Tiffany’s, and a few other interesting views.  I didn’t see the Golden Gate Bridge – had to go a different way to get to Arwyn’s… oh well, next time!  The postcards get better pictures of it anyway – it’s a bridge.  And I’m not at all disappointed I didn’t get to drive over it!!

We went to the Castro neighborhood.  It reminded me of P-Town and it just gives me a good feeling to see so many people just comfortable with themselves… some a little too comfortable… what can ya do but laugh!  My friend wants to do a show where she checks out crazy fashion people… I also enjoy the interesting shops and would much rather enjoy something different than go into stores I can shop at anywhere!

She showed me Clarion Alley and we saw some interesting places of business…

The drive through the mountains was amazing and a little scary – up and down steep hills of freeway!  And the radio stations go in and out in the valleys- irritating!  It gets really windy in some spots too.  The view was cool though.  I’ve just never driving through mountains like that.  There’s a steep hill and a tunnel on the Merritt Parkway from NYC through CT but nothing like this.  I know other places are far more majestic but it was new to me!

The coolest is to see all the clouds just hovering over the mountains.  You can’t really see from the pictures but it looks enormous in real life!

Sorry if this post is a little jumbled, I am exhausted but I wanted to share :)’

I haven’t even scoped out the Lindsay Lohan jail update… is she out yet????
