San Francisco

On Wednesday I flew to San Francisco to meet with Suds. It was a nice clear day leaving Vancouver.























Gorgeous snowy mountain tops!











Here I am landing in San Fran











Suds' hotel is right downtown in the heart of the shopping! Unfortunately it was much colder than I thought. Everyone was bundled up in coats and scarves!























We bought some tickets from a scalper for the Giants game. we wanted to be there if Bonds hit a home run. We had a pre-game drink across from the stadium at Momo's













The stadium is only a few years old and really nice!
Sadly for us Baroid Bonds had taken the night off.











Look at the prices for drinks in the stadium!
I was so thirsty but I woulda rather died of thirst than pay $4.50 for a small bottle of water!
























The next day we went down to Fisherman's Wharf for some lunch and window shopping.











I had a great bowl of clam chowder in a bread bowl while we looked at the seals. Sadly one of the seals had a huge open wound gash in his chest. We had to look away while we ate :)






































These kayakers are in the water in case a ball gets hit out of the park into the bay. Some have shirts that read "Bonds Navy". Apparently the ball that gets hit out of the park to break the record will be worth big bucks.










Here's the man, the legend, Mr Bonds

We bought some cheap tickets off another scalper and caught an afternoon game the next day as well.







He didn't do much but get hit out a lot, catch a ball in the field and then hit a double....only to call in a runner to finish off the inning and walk off the field and out of the game.
