how's my drinking?

Long time no blog sorry all!

Had a great time in San Fran – managed to walk all the way up the big hill that you see in the films.  We didnt really intend to but we were $4 short of the cable car fee!!  Got the Holiday Inn for $56 per night which is tres cheap!!

We walked up to the Ferry Building which is a good local landmark along the waterfront…strolled down to the famous Pier 39 which is full of tourist gift shops, chain eateries, and ice cream shops!  Not our bag, baby, so went on to the area where the sealions famously hang-out.  They’re cool but collectively they stink!  Went to the Thirsty Bear brewpub for dinner which was a great place.  The best bar so far.  9 beers inc 2 based on English beers (which were a good effort).  Had a Sample Tray of all in 5oz (1/4pint) glasses (see pic)

Drinks are in me!

On day 2 we retraced our steps but on the Trolley Bus and Trams so went up to China Town for lunch (about 10 non-Chinese out of 250 eating!).  Then wandered through Little Italy for a beer.  PM we went to Castro which is the gay area and went to a couple of bars, inc one where we joined in a quiz night hosted by a drag queen!
