Flo goes on tangents

Blogging for your amusement and my chance to remember things.
Pictures and ramblings about tech, making, and baking.

Back Home

The jet lag could be worse. Drinkable tap water, a shower with decent water pressure, and a proper mixing valve make up for it.

Up and down again

Tourists doing touristy things in Fog City.

Painted Ladies

We took a picture of some okay examples of the architecture at Alamo Square.

Sutro Tower

Went to Haight street for the retro hippie vibes and caught a look at the famous broadcasting tower on Twin Peaks.

Very cold ocean, but a decent view

Went to Baker Beach to catch the Golden Gate Bridge from another angle.

Rode a Cable Car home to the hotel. They remain the most whimsical mode of transport. I like whimsical.

It has changed in the last decade and not everything for the better, but it remains San Francisco.

2272 miles / 3656 kilometers

We made it back to San Francisco.

Lazy Sunday

Lounging at the hotel pool in Santa Clara and planning our last two days in San Francisco.

Muir Woods

Giant redwoods

Some of these trees are older than a millennium and stand tall even after fires. The forest feels serene and alive, and I can only feel humble next to these wooden giants.

Seeing everything so green and water flowing is a refreshing contrast to the wild desert landscapes we saw earlier in our travels.
