The day after my last day of work at Yahoo G and I took a short trip to SF. We went to Alcatraz, rented bikes and rode them across the Golden Gate Bridge, saw Beach Blanket Babylon and wandered around Chinatown.

We really enjoyed the Alcatraz tour. We happened upon a talk by a Ranger about the first 3 escape attempts and loved listening to the details and thinking about what it must have been like out there.

We stayed at the
Argonaut Hotel and it was very nice, very comfortable and a really convenient location. In fact, we walked everywhere except to the train station.
Speaking of the train, we took the train up to the city and had to get off early and take a "bus bridge" the rest of the way because they were working on the tracks. That was an adventure in itself because we sat across from a young gal who talked really loud on her cell phone the whole trip and talked about "hooking up", setting up her friend with a nice Christian boy and porn! The bus was packed with people and she flapped her gums the whole time for everyone to hear!

We really enjoyed Beach Blanket Babylon - it had long been on my bucket list and I am really glad we made the time to see it. I will definitely go back in a couple of years.
Overall it was a great staycation in a city that is so close but that we don't usually make the time to see.
