For the last week, I've been in the Napa/Sonoma/San Francisco area on a business trip. Holy crap. It's just the coolest place I've ever seen.
Driving through wine country was gorgeous. I have about 300 pictures to wade through on the company's new SLR. 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. We WANTS it.
Now I'm back in stinking Michigan. Friggin' redneck hillbillyville.

It's like we hardly even knew you were here, Aban. For what it's worth it's rainy and sort of miserable today, so you're not missing much, ATM.

I've always enjoyed visiting the Bay Area every year... then again I prefer staying near the city more.

I love Chinatown- I was there two weeks and never ate at a resturany with any english on the menu, and once had a woman's laundry drop on me while crossing traffic. She was really pissed at me for some reason too... Probably 'cause I left her clothes in the street to be run over....what could I do? Take them home?
Bueatiful, amazing EXPENSIVE city that I cant possibly afford to live in.

What blew me away about Chinatown, actually, was that everything was so cheap. I bought a kung-fu top for myself (cause I want to look like Seraph from Matrix Reloaded), a top for my wife, some uber tea from a tea bar, gifts for my sisters in law all for like $40. Even the restaurants were nice and reasonable.
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.
But, there really didn't seem to be enough room under the Golden Gate to fly a Klingon starship. You'd have to be a darn good aim and flying low already.

No wonder they gave that guy his own ship.
