i love juice

I have become lazy in my post of late only because i have been enjoying my time here in the US of A. I have done so much and only in checking the news in a glance and writing my last post i have all but forgotten about rainy grey Britain.

So what first? well it has to be San Francisco and what a city, we went to the city on Tuesday for the day. Tenbellies, Thud, Mrs OTW and Princess OTW all came along as we took the Bart into the heart of SF. It was quite a contrast between where we were staying and the busy city, so many people and moving so fast it gave a rush to the system. The tall buildings and the decor all new for a city that was founded in 1776, but as common knowledge knows the 1906 earthquake devastated the city practically flooring every building, well except this building in the picture. This was a house overlooking the bay at the top of one of the many hills we walked that day. Now anyone who said Americans build shitty wooden house that would fall at a farts breath were very wrong. The building which is now used as a union building(i think) held its ground through the fires and the earthquake, such a magnificent building is a credit to it Architect and the city.

Our walk took us through a busy China town and up the hills to get the view of the bay. The weather was nice that day and the fog was only very little. As i stood at the top of the hill looking down into the city i thought about films like Bullitt and Dirty Harry, the city is such a cool place. I had wanted to see the hills of San Francisco and all its amazing sights for so long and it really did live up to my expectations. we only got to see a small amount of this great city that day but walked for miles. We will be going back in a week to see Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge that will surely end my visit to such a colourful city only to return in the future.
