Before I get into this post I just want to point out that Penny Arcade’s charity, Child’s Play, is so close to last year’s raised total that it’s obscene if it doesn’t beat it! I donated today and if you can donate even a little please take a look at the wishlist’s available or click on the PayPal link. It would make my Christmas if you could! http://www.childsplaycharity.com/
I was lucky enough to take the train from LA to San Francisco a few weeks ago [more on the train ride later] and I spent the whole time there with my head pointed to the sky and marvelling at the variety of everything in the city, not just the architecture. I feel I’m pretty spoiled living in Vancouver; we have pretty much all of the things you could imagine in a city, so whenever I go away places I never feel as at home as I do there. SF was the first exception I’ve found to my rule. Granted, I was only there for two and a half days and I got to spend it with a great friend I was lucky enough to make at SD Comic Con last year, but, there’s something about SF I can’t get out of my mind.
It very much reminded me of Vancouver, but of course you’d have to swap the Canadian-nous with the American-nous and you’d be all set to thinking they were the same part of the world. SF is on a much bigger scale than Vancouver and there’s slightly more variety in the downtown architecture (since Vancouver is so very young for the most part), but the essence of the two places is pretty much the same. I have so many more things I could say about the museum’s I was taken to and the culture in general, but I may well have waffled on enough and since all of these photos are of the streets of SF it wouldn’t necessarily be the right place to gush about some things.
So, as always lets let the photos speak for themselves.
