Our time in the city has been much fun, added to by our host, an old friend of Alex's. Our first move after meeting up, this is post me getting a new macbook pro, baseline model, was going down lombard st, if you don't know what it is look it up, around 6 times. There were some people trying to do a interview or recording of some sort and needless to say they weren't very happy with our continued shouts as we traversed the turns again and again. We even ran down it once to give it some variety.
Then down to Pier 39 for saltwater taffy you wouldn't believe and an arcade where virtual jump rope was the name of the game, I beat it once and got us some pretty flippin sweet bandanas. This was the part of the sow where the pub comes into play, with live Irish music and good beer and laughs all night. We met up with some friends we hiked with in yosemite, random is our middle name, and had a lovely evening, driving back up to santa rosa across the golden gate bridge on the way out.
Yesterday we walked the bridge, 1.7 miles each way and very windy - we lucked out with visibility and got some good pics - then back to pier 39 for the rocket boat. Now the rocket boat is kinda what you think it is, it's a speed boat that seats around 100 that zips around the bay showing you different views of the skyline and getting you a little wet in the process. Pretty fun and definitely worth the $20. Dinner on the pier, then a quick trip to the punchline comedy club for "the young guns of comedy". I really liked 2 of the acts, another 2 were pretty funny, unfortunately the headliner was not amazing, but it was still fun.
I am currently uploading pictures to facebook, slowly but surely and have up to about a third of the badlands done so days 1-3 and part of 4. Probably do more tonight so keep checking back and hopefully I might get caught up before I actually get home.
