Feb 08 - Canada/USA Part 3 (San Francisco)


California Plates. I thought it would be a good title piece for the San Fran section of our photos and videos.


While we were in San Fran we stayed with Devin and Christine in their new apartment in down town San Fran. Thanks very much for the hospitality guys and it was fantastic to see you both! This photo was on the top of their building in little bungalow things with a couple of Paulaner beers (mmm, takes us back to Oktoberfest). It also had a fantastic view of the San Francisco city area.

Alcatraz, on the way in on the boat. We were amazed to find out the different uses of the island other than just the Prison that we though it was famous for. It was used as a military fort to protect the Bay area, then the prison that no one was known to have escaped from and then it was taken over as an Indian reservation (in protest of the treatment of native American Indians) in the the 1970's which lasted for 4.

How could I miss out on getting a shot in front of this! To my disappointment it was too early to go inside.

The Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunatley the weather interupted our view. Never the less it was very spectacular and so big.
Shannon and Christine in front of the Painted Ladies! Wonderful colours.

This is more like it! The day after the last shot, we got a better shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. I think its better because I'm in it. Jk
