Then... the last day we were there, we drove into San Fran, stopped at the Marin headlands to pictures of the bridge, went to Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf... the city is incredible. We loves it.

Even the restaurants were nice and reasonable.<br /><br />Now... San Fran proper was a little different. But what I loved is that everything seemed to be open-air. Everything walked out right onto the streets. It just seemed so... so... 24th century.<br /><br />But, there really didn't seem to be enough room under the Golden Gate to fly a Klingon starship.
