- San Francisco is a city with amazing diners - complete with cadillac cars, juke boxes, neon signs and red leather booths. There is no better way to start the day than with a massive plate of pancakes and a bottomless cup of coffee.
- San Francisco is COLD in July
- There is live music on every street corner, to be enjoyed while eating clam chowder
- Every other person in San Francisco wears a jumper with ‘San Francisco’ on the front. Are these people all tourists or do locals wear them too?
- There are more homeless people in San Francisco than in any other city i've ever been to before. One particular nutter decided to jump out from behind a bush to scare us. He found this hilarious. I didn't.
- Driving over Golden Gate bridge listening to Journey - 'Don't stop believing' is a great experience
I’ve read a few blogs and often find that entries can be long winded, self indulgent and /or written by women who wish they were called Carrie and lived in New York. But there are many benefits to writing a blog; the main and most important one is being able to let those people who care about Martin and I keep up to date with our whereabouts. The second reason is wanting to bottle just a little bit of this once in a life time, 12 month holiday.
So I’ll attempt to refrain from rabbiting on too much and keep it punchy (postcard length) instead.
