EVENT: Moving Day, Part II

After a nice and comfortable wake up, headed out of Medford around 9:30 (after picking up my Starbuck's fix... man those Chai Tea Frappuccino's are too good). Reached the Cali border around 10:30 or so. Had fun through the Siskiyous with my car; I was actually rather impressed with how well she performed with all the weight from my supplies as well as the added drag of the Yakima rack on top. Hauled my way through northern California. You have to love when flow speed is around 80mph! Hit traffic big time as I approached the Bay Bridge into San Francisco, but otherwise just cruised my way into town. I arrived in San Fran a little after 3pm.

Checked into my hotel, another nice Best Western, the Flamingo Inn. Took there free shuttle to Union Square where I was going to catch a trolly down to Fisherman's Wharf... yah right. Gave up on that idea and just decided to walk. San Fran is a very interesting city in that respect as it's pretty much split in two by a ridge thus providing a steep uphill hike followed by a steep downhill hike to the Wharf. I just picked up some Calamari & Chips off the street side vendors and munched them for a while. Found a nice little bar with a $2 Guiness Pints happy hour and had a couple of brews. After my walk down, I was determined to catch a trolly back... haha, yet again I make the hike. Don't know if it was the alcohol or what but it went quickly. Did a little shopping @ the Virgin Megastore in Union Square and then headed back to the hotel. Crashed around 11pm for the next day.
