We're Back



The trip this weekend to San Francisco took a little longer than expected. Thursday evening we were getting hit with a major snow storm in the midwest and we were scheduled to leave early the next morning. The Woman and I decided to drive that evening to a hotel by the airport to make sure we would be able to arrive on time for our flight, good plan. The next morning we awoke to 12" of snow and a cancelled flight, after some frantic phone calls we managed to get rerouted to Los Angeles and then to San Francisco. The drive that should have taken 20 minutes to the airport was at least an hour, short story we made it to San Francisco about four hours later than we had planned.



On the the flight to San Francisco from LA we sat next to a friendly attorney who gave us some tips on places to go and to eat. She recommended the House of Prime Rib on Van Ness and The Woman had to go there the first night. So after checking in and taking the F-Train up to Powell and Market to proquer Muni Three Day Passes, we took the Cable Car back down toward the Wharf. The Conductor also highly reccomended the restaurant and gave us directions on how to get there. After dinner we rose the 47 Van Ness bus back to the Wharf and walked allong the piers and looked out at the lights of the cities shimmering off the Bay.



If you are going to San Francisco I highly reccomend the Muni Pass, trains and busses are 1.50 a ride - cable cars are 5.00 . The pass was 18.00 a person and good for three days ( hint : don't scratch off the date that you bought it until you have to / drivers don't usually even look if you flash it at them and if you wait you might get an extra day or two out of it )
