San Francisco and Ghostland Observatory

I had an amazing time in San Francisco this weekend. Ghostland Observatory was fabulous again... they really put on a good show. The picture I posted looks blurry for some reason, even though it's not blurry on my computer. Any techies know the reason for this? Anyway, they played a full show with all of my favorite songs (except freeheart lover unless I was too busy getting stepped on by the weird sweaty guy trying to play pogo on my feet to notice.) We were up pretty close amidst all the action. I was drenched with my sweat and the sweat of other Ghostland lovers... yummy!

There was tons of free stuff you could buy with little tokens they passed out. I got a poster, a hat, a cassette tape shaped coin bag, and a USB jump drive. Score! I did have a few drinks, which went against the whole eating healthy fiasco... but I figured it was Ghostland in San Franciso so I said to hell with it.

The next day we were up at 9:00 and began our exporation of the city by cable car. First we went to breakfast, then were were in line for cable cars... good times! We sat by some funny people who said they had lived in Hanford (was it Hanford or some other unfortunate little city in the valley?) We decided this was Fresno's motto... "Fresno: It's not Bakersfield." That made me laugh. 

We trekked on at Fisherman's Wharf heaing toward the Aquarium of the Bay. We went past the bush man that scares people in San Francisco from behind a bush. Yes he has his own wiki page! I could have watched this guy for hours. Thank goodness for Youtube. Apparantly the Bushman claims to make $60,000 a year for this! 

The Aquarium was actually pretty exciting with tunnels that you walk through where you can look up and see sharks, rays, and a lot of crazy undersea life all around! We stuck our heads close to an octopus and got to pet a ray and a little shark. Then we had clam chowder in a bread bowl and walked to get free samples from Ghiradelli. Yum! It was so cold over there, but a welcome break from the heat of Fresno. Another exciting adventure!
