Do you know the way...

Wellity,

I have been in San Jose and San Francisco for the previous 5 days and a good time was had by all. I travelled to San Jose with Kris on Wednesday morning as she had work to attend to. unlucky. I, on the other hand, was able to travel to San Francisco on both Wednesday and Thursday and spent a majority of both days checking out the city, including the piers, where I saw a guy do a rubix cube in a minute, coit tower and Lombard street.

The way to Coit tower

Aaah, the land of the free...I'm not allowed to buy beer, but I can get a gun, cause that makes total sense.

Funny story, on Thursday morning as I waited for the train to San Francisco I was asked by some girls whether it was indeed the train to San Fran. I detected an Australian accent and I replied that I hoped it was. When the train turned up it seemed that the car I had boarded was filled with Australian girls of about my age. My powers of insight thought this to be a little odd (maybe they just caught my manly scent, which they could have as my deodorant was taken off me in airport security). I asked the girl next to me if they were on some kind of sport trip, and she replied "we're a cheerleading team actually, from Bendigo"...bahahahaha. It was all I could do from laughing out loud. Seriously, cheerleaders, from Bendigo, in San Francisco. What the hell! anyway I'm not one to be shallow or petty so I bypassed the fact that they were a cheerleading team and focused on the fact that they were all quite attractive. Wootwoobies.

On Friday Kris was off work for most of the day so we travelled into San Fran together to meet her friend Jeff. We took a walk through Golden Gate Park and had dinner by the Pacific Ocean, beautiful. We then took a look at a Yoda statue, as you do.

Then we went back to San Jose to pick up Mark from the airport, as he had worked the rest of the week in Austin before coming out to California. We all then went out to meet another of Mark and Kris's friends, Alan, for a few beers.(sshh...don't tell anybody)

Saturday morning we met up with both Alan and Jeff again and made our way around Pier 1 markets and stalls, and also stopped by the Playstation store.

Sunday morning was all about Alcatraz. Kris, Mark and I went out to the Rock and had a tour fo the prison and managed to escape intact. The trick is to hide behind the sign, they don't look there.

Me, confident in the fact that I will soon be free with my ingeniously simple plan.

Haha you fools, your extravagent sign is your biggest weakness!

Hello ladies, sprung from prison and on the market.

So my 5 days in San Francisco were filled with walking, sightseeing and shenanigans. I had a great time and a big thanks should go to Mark and Kris for making it all possible and being fantastic. Even if Mark is a bit of a Spackface.
