Ten things I love about San Francisco:
- my sister obviously otherwise I wouldn't be here
- the food: the Senagalese and the Afghan restaurant particularly stick in my mind
- the bookstores: I have bought loads of book bargains including a wonderful book on London travel called the London Spy, written in the 70s. Its hilarious
- Yosemite: not strictly in San Fran but wonderful none the less. All the better as we narrowly missed the massive landslide that hit the camp in the days after we left
- Alcatraz: so interesting. I never knew that the Indians claimed it for 19 months as their land.
- village people Christmas tree decorations in sausilito
- the mission, where the cool kids hang out
- the castro theatre: never have I enjoyed Bridge on the River Kwai so much
- finding spots that were the inspiration for Tales of the City. Including the legendary Safeway's.
- Japantown: full of great Hello Kitty purchases.
- Haigh Ashbury: commercialised hippiness at its worst
- attracting too much attention: worse than walking through West Croydon!
- tax on shopping: I don't do maths, I can't work it out and now I have an change mountain
- nutters on buses: yes I know it happens in London too but I'm on holiday and they smell
- hills: are you trying to kill me! after hiking to 6000ft in Yosemite I need a nice gentle stroll.
