Gravity is overrated





Imagine a light grey piece of paper with nothing on it, then that would have been the Golden Gate bridge today. We decided to walk it anyway in the hope that the fog would clear whilst we walked its length of just over 2 miles, no chance it was even thicker when we returned to the car.

With steep gradients, some seem near vertical, we walked miles and miles. Then took a cable car when to Union Square from Fishermans Wharf, like Stuart said, it seemed like a roller coaster at times...

Turning a corner downtown, we came across a large protest of Hotel workers fighting for their rights, apparently they wanted a contract and they wanted it now!
Without hesitation we both went into press mode and covered the event, just incase...

China town is one of the largest outside China, the streets were busy with frenetic activity and everyone had something to sell. Being hungry I was tempted, but we had promised ourselves steak that evening....

Today is the day we fly home, it has been an excellent adventure. Whilst I have enjoyed the vast difference America has to offer, I do miss my lovely family very much and can't wait to return home to them. Oh yeah! and my monkey tea of coarse.... x
