San Francisco

After about 10 months avoiding each other, we eventually managed to arrange a week-end... And since Paris did not work too good for us, San Francisco appeared to be en excellent option, as it was their summer roadtrip last stop (have a look at their nice blog...). For me, it was a nice 3-day break in my summer research at UCSD. I flew in Friday, and out Monday night...

On Saturday morning, we went for a walk between the Golden Gate bridge and Cliff's house, where we had lunch, american style....

Despite all recommendations, I went to SF without a jacket, wearing a light sweater. (Which by the way ended up being a good choice, as we had an amazing weather all three days).

In the afternoon, we visited the Golden Gate park - which is by the way not close at all of the bridge :-S.

On Saturday night, another nice restaurant, with nice people, followed by a jazz lounge, around Japan town.

San Francisco has to be one of my favorite cities on this side of the atlantic. Its ambient is absolutely amazing. On Sunday we went to see some of the highlights : Fisherman's wharf, chinatown, Lombard St, some more Golden Gate bridge...

And to the museum of modern art on Monday morning (note that it is at least the second reference to a museum on this blog, I am getting literate...).

If you dont have enough, I think there is another nice one on J&C's blog...

And here are some pictures I took on the flight back. The first one does not need caption I guess...

This is UCSD from right above (bottom left is the Geisel library, and close to the center is the building where I "work").

And back to downtown San Diego...
