Hey folks, howzit?! I'm at the San Francisco Airport, waiting for my flight and continuing the blog of the last couple of days.
So lets go baby! After my great gay party night, which (I'm still stoked of haha) I woke up in Downtown SF, tried to grab something to eat, which didn't go so well and headed back home. It went surprisingly well, with just 2 hours of sleep and no idea where I was, I made it on the first try.
The moto for today was already set: GOLDEN GATE, wether it's the park or the bridge. So we went to Height Ashbury (I have no idea how its spelled sorry:-)), its the district where all the Hippi-Movement started (at least thats what they say). We visited a couple of nice stores and went to the Golden Gate Park and YES, this must be the place the hippies hang out. Smell of dope everywhere and hundrets of people trying to find a beat on their bongos :-) But anyway, I put on my headphones and instantly fell asleep. After an hour Aline woke me up, cause all the sun was gone and it already had turned quite cold. Now it was time for the Bridge, sunset in an hour, perfect. We took the bus up north and there she was! Wow! Quite impressing! The two huge, red painted towers high in the sunset sky! Amazing! The shutter on my camera almost started burning as you will see below this paragraph, just check out the pics:
Monday morning I woke up....We packed our bags, thanked Tyler for the place to crash, waved goodbye and headed to the SF Airport. I've booked a car for two days cause we wanted to see Santa Cruz and the Half Moon Bay. We couldn't really believe it as the guy at the car rental station told us, "yeah, just take one of the cars to the right.." We've booked the cheapest category and there we're Dodges, Chryslers and stuff. After Aline was against my plan to take a huge Dodge White Family Van we went for the Chrysler PT Cruiser, a car I always wanted to drive one day. First stop: HALF MOON BAY, for all of you who don't know what's so special about this place, there are two things. It's the most beautiful coast between SF and LA there and the HMB is famous for the MAVERICKS, one of the biggest and most dangerous waves in the entire States. The scene was astonishing, only sad thing, the waves weren't that big, but still quite impressing.
Next stop: Lighthouse... Whatever:-) Just for daddy Bruce who's addicted to Lighthouses. It was really beautiful there, absolutely perfect weather and a nice spot. We took some pictures, enjoyed the view and chilled in the sun. After a while we went again on the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway -> AMAZING) down to Santa Cruz. We didn't know what to expect of this city, just surfers, skaters and chilled people?! Kind of, yeah! We checked in at our hotel, which was quite nice, a pool, huge beds and pretty close to the beach. But the city was almost dead!!! Seams like a summer city. All the attractions near the pier were closed but I ask you and especially Mr. Wingman: WHO CARES?! Wingmans Daddy alias Siggi Scharpf told me during our Italy vacation last year that I had to visit the pier and enjoy the sunset. So I did. The sun went down, the surfers caught their last waves and we went out the pier till the bitter end! Really impressing scenery! Check it out baby:
After some late night Santa Cruz Surf Shop Shoppings :-) we went to the Saturn Cafe, kind of a vegetarian/vegan american diner and I had the best Vegetarian Burger I've ever tasted! This thing was great!!! I definetely have to catch another one on our christmas trip. The night ended with some good RAW Wrestling and a romantic movie, couldn't be better! We haven't been quite sure what to do today, my plan was to visit San Jose, but my colleague Ned told me that it's just another city, not worth spending a single minute. So we decided to visit an outlet center on the way to SF. But one thing i recognized really quick, dude, you have everything you need and after all my outlet visits it was kind of boring to go in and out every shop without letting the credit card glow :-) The result of the day: An american glasses sleeve for my iPhone, a new wallet and a great pair of new balance sneakers...so much to: Dude you have everything:-) On the way back home we stopped in Porto Alto (or whatever), a neat little town, and grabbed something to eat before returning our wagon at the Airport. And yes, here we are, at the airport in SF, the macbooks in our wombs, listening to some great music and waiting till Flight 931 picks me up!
So thats it for now, I'm still doing great here, it was an awesome trip the last couple of days and it's a bit after halftime of my entire USA trip. Life is great here, I'm really looking forward to the next weeks or lets call it months:-) Next week I'm gonna see NOFX, Christmas is quite near and so is the visit of Josie and our roundtrip. After that one and a half months and then it will be: "Ravensburg, hier Ravensburg!" I'm also really looking forward to this time, there are a couple of people I can't wait to see again, but till then the place to be is CALIFORNIA, MY CALIFORNIA!!!
Have a good one guys, enjoy the rest of the week and see you soon!
Bye bye, Don Thunder
