Me and Tom went over to San Francisco for the last week of January, to do a little work over there.

These are pictures of us, of course, at the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge seperates San Francisco from Marin County. Click on picture to enlarge. Also, to view a 16-second movie of us walking across the bridge, click here.

This was a nice day. We walked over the bridge in sunshine, and walked back during a California sunset.

Heres the sunset.

Me at the Bridge.

SF is no place to be if you dont like hills. You could almost hear Ford Mustangs hopping over the steps of the hills to the music of the "Bullitt" theme...

Hanging out of a streetcar, zipping down a hill...

We rode the streetcars quite a bit. It was the tourist thing to do. Everyone who lived there got the bus, because its cheaper.

And more hills...whoa!!!

This is Lombard Street, which is pretty famous and has been in a lot of movies, especially Herbie movies. The cars spiral down it at 5mph, swirling in and out of the gardens.

And speaking of Herbie, guess who I found!! He has lacking his stripes and number 56...but I think it was definitely him...

I also went down to have a look around SBC Park...this is the home ballpark of the San Francisco Giants baseball team.

As you all know I love baseball, so this was a real treat for me. Unfortunately it wasn't baseball season, so I couldn't take in a game while I was there, which was a real shame.

More SBC Park.

And just as a last point, me and Tom flew for 12 hours to get to California, and all we could find to drink was Newky Brown, from just down the road. Go figure.
