Over Christmas we stayed for a few days in a downtown hotel. It may seem a
little strange to stay in a hotel in your own town while you're paying the
mortgage on a perfectly nice house but it is refreshing. It's nice to
have room service at your disposal but I also enjoy playing tourist every
once in a while. Locals spend so much time avoiding traffic and real tourists
that we avoid places like Union Square and Pier 39. Visiting
them reminds me why I fell in love with this city and moved here in the first
place. Playing tourist also gives you a passport to take postcard shots hence
today's shot of a cable car as taken by all who visit San Francisco.
Have a happy a safe New Year. See you back here in 2004. |
