San Francisco: Day One
As some of you may know, I am currently in California...San Francisco to be direct. Whether you care or not, I will be posting a day-by-day photo diary of sorts to show my fellow East coasters what life is like on the other side of the Mississippi. On Wednesday, Érico (the crazy Brazilian with whom I am traveling) and I will be driving down the Pacific Coast Highway to Los Angeles.
Although it may sound like we are on vacation, we are, in fact, here on "business." I use quotation marks only because we have not yet entered the "business" world; we are here simply to feel out the area and to "tour" some post-production "facilities."
"Quotation marks."
Ok...on with the show.
Our first day in San Fran, or "Ol' Franny," as I sometimes prefer to call it, began on Lombard Street, location of the "Crookedest Street in the America" or "the World" or some such claim. Whatever.
First of all, we had to hike about a quarter mile uphill to get to get there. Second of all, well...there is no second of all. However, our exhaustion was quickly extinguished once we got to the top of Lombard and had the opportunity to look down at this winding road. Que Linda, as Érico would say.
He would also say something like "presizo mijar" and other things that the Sims might say.
Anyway, the road is crooked. Get over it.
In case you weren't aware, the roads are quite steep. Here, I save the day by holding up this enormous SUV. I quickly realized that I couldn't hold it up forever, and once I walked away I had to place a stabilization spell on the huge Tahoe to keep it from rolling over. Anyway, in case you are new to the area, they have this helpful warning to keep you on your toes.
Then, after a quick break for a tasty brew and a photo opportunity with a local Street Dweller (who apparently chose to remain anonymous), we jumped on the cable car to begin our trip back to the room.
And thus ended our wonderful day in a wonderful city. I'll keep you posted on what happens throughout the week in this, the great state of California.

I love the picture with the street dweller! It actually made me laugh out loud at 5:45 am. :)
those backdrops are so obvious. plus you've got so many geographic inconsistancies, i'm not even going to start listing them. bottom line, we know you're still in florida. we are not fooled.
sarah, all you have to do is move to cali. how easy is that. i mean, really.
glen, you just think i'm in florida
amber, hello. nice to hear from you. i am having fun in the fran fran. and while i haven't had rice a roni, i have had some sourdough and anchor steam.
