San Francisco

We made it. Green Tortoise Hostel is great - free breakfast, free Internet, free dinner 3 nights a week and free beer tomorrow night apparently (and a great view of the bridge from the roof terrace!). We have literally just arrived, so only seen San Francisco at night from the window of shuttle bus. Feels like a bit of a shame to have left Mexico City so quick. We were a little intimidated when we first arrived six weeks ago but I think we were just a bit wet behind the ears. It really is an interesting and vast city - kind of like a cross between a big Eastern European capitol and Bangkok and I think it would take a good week or two to properly explore it. Still, it's good to be somewhere where you can drink water from the tap...

I loved SF when I was there a couple of times in the 80's. Brilliant! The Exploratorium is great! Didn't like the aquarium much, but it might have changed. Monterey's aquarium is world class. And all those restaurants, to say nothing of the wineries, of course...
