Look Ma – It’s a Tourist!
posted in Trips |You can usually spot the tourists in San Francisco because they’re the only ones wearing shorts and a t-shirt, tricked into thinking summers in SF are actually warm. They’re not. Generally. This weekend was perfect however, courtesy of the heat wave and global warming. Unfortunately, I only packed sweaters and jeans, hoping to blend in with the SF regulars. Despite melting in my clothes, it was a great weekend.
Stayed at the Hilton, in their newly renovated tower. (Nice)
Spent quality time with friends and loved ones. (Yay!)
Walked the City. (Hot)
Took a harbor tour. (Fun)
Danced at the Holy Cow. (Drunk)
Ate dim sum. (Yum)
Saw a movie in the Metreon to escape from the heat.* (Eh)
Had dinner at Cityscape at the top of the Hilton. (Breathtaking)
* Saw Pirates of the Caribbean. Didn’t much care for it. Thought it was grossly offensive in its portrayal of the natives and others. Realize I’m probably being somewhat of a killjoy. I’m usually very good at ignoring offensiveness in movies, but this was too much even for me!
