The Only Bridge That's A Real Gone Bridge
Makes you think about Judy Garland singing, no? (And don't forget that the trolleys cable cars go "Clang Clang Clang" too!)
That's the view from the top floor or the roof of the building where I'm working. Sorry I am not sure which view it is. They're both, clearly, very high up.
And here's another view from the same height:
Makes you think vertigo-y thoughts, no? Well, that's not nearly as bad as this little cantilevered balcony I tried to walk out onto this afternoon. My mild agoraphobia really got the best of me. I just could not walk out onto that balcony. Good thing I wasn't trying to pose a sock for the photos out there, as I can assure you that it would have leapt out of my hands to certain doom.
Anyhow, SF is keeping me very busy so far. I will confess that I've knit two rows on Zauberflote (while watching the "Sports Night" DVDs I brought with me), and I also walked by Artfibers. After they had closed for the evening. That was sad, except for my wallet, and for the space in my luggage for when I go home.
You know that's the Bay Bridge, right?

There's London Bridge, and the Brooklyn Bridge
And the bridge over San Luis Rey
But the only bridge that's a real gone bridge
Is the Bridge Across the Bay
To San Francisco!
Thanks so much for the travel-(b)log of SF. The pictures capture it perfectly- I lived there for 5 years and your pictures are a great reminder. Have a great trip and keep us posted.
