Last night hit the San Fran night life after dinner at Karens, Fun night with ascents coming from all over the country. California, Atlantic, Boston and Brooklyn (Saturday night fever style). One bars was a true American place, Bball on the screens, dudes playing darts and pong (drinking games). basically mooseheads equivalent, it was actually a bit scary. Night finished with the locals equivalent of a kebab.. Totally wicked Pepperoni pizza slice! California style (thin crust) worth the 15min line.
Detox run aim was to get to Golden gate Park. Through Mission, Castro then up one big steep hill through Eucalyptus forest and just made it too edge of park. Back via Haight st, old hippy central and its still got the vibe. Castro and Mission.
Awesome day after yesterday, blue skys, awesome to stroll and lunch at San Frans Farmers markets... I actually had a real coffee too.

C • San Francisco sounds great! 2

Mona Fartlek down to SF Giants Stadium. Not much warm up or cool down, but thought I should try to fit something bit better in then doing another nothing run.
Did a tour to Muir Woods today and saw the amazing California Red Wood. Huge! Also forest was beautiful, it was inspiring to go Hiking (not normally my thing). Then headed to beach town of Sausalito with nice art shops and cafes. Shame weather was so bad! Poncho was useful but still needed to buy a new pair of shoes and umbrella back in town.

Seriously steep hills! Managed to find a flatter route from Potrero. Down to Mission st (reminded me of Sydney rd but a Mexican version) then over to Castro the Rainbow precinct.. tights were appropriate.
Rushed to get down to Pier 33 for my morning Alcatraz visit. Very cool headphone commentary done by an old guard.
Perfect sunny day but still glade i bought my puff jacket!
Big walk back to Potrero from City centre. The amount of homeless people and dodgy feel was a bit of an eye opener. Under freeways are popular real estate, I guess its a man made shelter.

First day in SF hit the city centre, china town, pier 39, fishermans wharf and some discount designer outlet.. crazy wicked.. zoom elites for $50 Highlights of the day would have to be the Clam Chowder in a big sour dough roll and the seeing how big the golden gate really is.

Last day in LA before arvo flight to San Fran... Ran through Westwood, UCLA then up through Bel-Air. Crazy, I didn't realise houses could get that big! Didn't spot the fresh prince but I saw more tradies then residents.

Santa Monica, checked out pier then Run down to Venice Beach and back. Lots of "Medical" weed selling dudes and a interesting people... didn't get to see any classic bikini rollar bladers tho. Ran back Baywatch style past all the guard towers. Pretty huge beach and really nice.
Evening at Ice Hockey LA Kings smashed the Columbus Blue Jackets.. basically all over by 1st period.. but still good fun
BTW I forgot to mention... pretty sure I saw Rove at Santa Monica pier but I was too tired from the run and star struck didn't even shot.. Oi Rove!

Disneyland.. The happiest place in the world! also went ot Disney california park. Huge day! lots of adrenalin.. tower of terror and big rollarcoster best at Disney california. Disneyland was just trippy... Hollywood for dinner with Thai singing elvis..hollywood was busy with oscar action, spotted a celeb just don't ask me who... then Mulholland drive on the way home to check out the views. Its one big city! or more like a few without a centre
