San Francisco Day 1

So yesturday I woke up around 8 and after a delicious free breakfast I headed downtown via BART. BART is expensive… $5 to get into the city.

After failing to check in at the Westin (I’m not terribly thrilled with this hotel but that’s another story) I headed over to Hertz where I got a car for the day.

Big Basin state park is the oldest state park in California. They also allow dogs on their paved roads… So my friend and I took the dog on a lenthy 6 mile trek. It wasn’t anything really amazing but we definitely saw some big trees.

Along the way we ran into some locals who encouraged us to check out Great Boulder, a nearby town. We went to the tacqueria there and had some delicious tacos.

On the way back to San Fran there were these crazy cloud formations coming in off the Pacific. I tried to snap a pic to show what it looked like.

After making a brief pit stop in Buena Vista park we returned the car and checked into a hotel. Dinner was at some Italian restaurant in North Beach. The food was okay… But sitting out on the street was awesome.

After dinner we hung out at someones house for a while (if you were there… All I remember is ’sherpa’) and then, a little tipsy, went to bed.
