Palo Alto + San Francisco

Sep 08, 2008 17:36

Went to the "Bay Area" last week. Finally went to the famous PARC campus to meet up with one of our vendors. It's a pretty nice campus... way better than the one I work for. Friday, my colleague Derek and I took the late flight out of San Francisco so we could explore the city.
First we rode the cable car:

I've never been on one of those before... they're very fun, but seem very inefficient to me. I'm thinking that the only reason they still have them are for tourists, but I could be wrong, and maybe there is a good reason that they still have them. It is kinda steam punk in it's own way. We walked around a little to.
Eventually, when we got back to the beach near where the cable line started, we saw a bunch of bikers on rentals, so we decided to rent bikes and bike to the Golden gate bridge:


Once we got to the bridge, we went to the old fort under the bridge that used to defend the bay:

I met some cool people inside the fort:

Nice breeze on top:

After we rode back, we met up with Travis at his new place. He showed us his garden:

We went to Herbivore and I had an awesome sandwich:

A few blocks from Herbivore is a 100% sci-fi book store:
