San Francisco by night

After a couple of days in Sonoma County, we again packed our bags and headed south for San Francisco.

A part of Jacobs family has a long tradition of having a party on second Christmas day. They’re Jews, and their excuse is that this is supposedly the day of Jesus’ briss. Makes a good excuse anyway. To the left, Dusty, Jacobs dad.
Thanks to Sylvia for the picture.

Norwegians in distress. We got to Santa Rosa and waited for the next bus for a couple of hours, when we learned that the bus driver wouldn’t let us on with our luggage. He told us to go to the Greyhound Station two blocks down. Turns out, there is no bus station two blocks down, but there’s one three miles down. Only one bus is heading for San Francisco each day, and we missed that. Help! After realizing defeat, we called our savior Jacob, who then drove us to the ferry that goes in to SF. Rescued. Oh, by the way; damn you Sonoma County Transit.

A day that should have been short turned long. All in all, who cares- we’re here.
