San Francisco is just great....absolutely bloody fantastic in fact. I think we'd move here without a moment's hesitation if one of us were offered a job here or something (unlikely, I know...).
Today we walked around solidly all day, for a good 8 or 9 hours. We went winter clothes shopping at Union Square (we lucked out - Macy's had a one day, morning only, sale on) checked out Fisherman's Wharf (very touristy, sea lions, pier 39, Clam Chowder, Alcatraz, etc.), then took a walk up to Lombard street (the famous steep, twisty road), then went shopping at Safeway, did some washing, booked a rental car for Thursday and now we're cooking dinner (well, Emma is...but under my supervision, of course ;o)). Prices of stuff here seem to be roughly 50% of British prices (aided by the current exchange rate), which is cheap, but expensive compared to central America.
Hostel is great - we're in "The Annex" a separate building a block or so from the main hostel and much, much nicer (by the receptionist's own admission). Whilst there are other's staying here we virtually have the Internet and a whole kitchen to ourselves. Tomorrow we may take a cable car ride, hire bikes and/or visit Alcatraz. There's so much to do here I think we'll have to return some day.
Won't be posting any photos from here as it's not possible with this computer set up.
