Three days in San Francisco

Chinatown, SF- the oldest in the US
Three days of nothing in San Francisco- gotta love it.
We had one agenda in San Francisco: we would write down some words from the meetings in D.C. in a more specific way, and then ravage around in the city.
We started the day by going out and having a late breakfast, and walking up and down Chinatown. This would be sort of an appetizer for the city, since we “had to work”. After biting down on the sour apple the evening had arrived, and we found ourselves at a Japanese place called Sakana.
Is it the gray or the gray wire?
Even MacGyver would be lost here.
As we are lazy no-good tourists, we hopped on a sightseeing bus. Easy mode.
Mosaic walls and street musicians
Trolley wires all around
Most of the buses are driven by electricity, making the city a web of wires.
The Transamerica Pyramid
The tallest building in SF, with some 260 meters (853 feet).
Wall art
Believe
Segway tours
I wonder how long it would take before I’d brake out of the tour…
"Gives it a nice antique look"
Spot the quote.
The Rock
So many quotes I’d like to say- which I’m not gonna.

A mandatory picture
There’s just no way around it.
Luckily there's seldom snow
It explains why they have automatic transmission.
There's only one way
Viewing east towards Coit Tower
Try to count the number of floors
The remains of yesterdays posters
Macro time.
New years traffic
Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge
Chaotic New Years eve
How do you spend new years in SF? Easy; pizza, beer and TV. One hour before midnight, walk down The Embarcadero and wait for the fireworks. Like I said, it’s easy.
The clock ticks and passes midnight- happy new year!
