SF photos

Here's a quick taste of San Francisco:

Sunny and 62 today

So far, Chrissy Park Field affords the best vantage point for taking a snap of the Golden Gate Bridge -- at least from within the City.

We rented one of those little electric GPS cars, and tooled around the city for an hour.

With a top speed of about 25, and a low center of gravity,  they feel moderately safe. We zipped down Lombard Street in it, and I got about 3 screams out of Mrs. Big Picture.  Never  took any wheels off the ground, but the sense was that the damn thing could flip over if you took a turn too fast . . .

Its hard to get a sense of the size looking up from ground level of the trees.

So maybe this shot will give some perspective:  That's Mrs. Big Picture, who is a statuesque 5'8", in the lower right hand corner:

we got there about 8:15 and didn't have to wait for a table -- on the way out, it was a zoo . . .

Thats the short version; If you want to see more, there's another dozen after the jump.
