AQ 08 San Francisco
Posted: Friday, September 12, 2008 by Ian Howerton inWell this is it everyone, Joe's final destination. It was a very long and strenuous trip to get here but definitely well worth it. There aren't too many pics of San Francisco just cause poor Joe was already bogged down with so much school work that he was doing overnights the second week. Since I was just out here on the other road trip less than a year ago, I didn't wanna do the whole tourist thing over again by myself. I am gonna post up the pics I took last year just so you guys and gals can see more of the city.
Well this is the famous Golden Gate Bridge at sunset. Notice the fog starting to roll in. It's pretty bad in the whole bay area actually right before the sun comes up and after it goes down.
No this is not me , It's one of Joe's roommates. Sanjin Filipovic. Today was his first day in America. His home is Oslo Norway.
This is a close up of Alcatraz , otherwise known as the rock. You should see the movie "The Rock" with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, it'll put all these pics in video form.
This is Joe's six person dorm room. It's a really nice place but with six dudes and a crappy vistor curfew (I got kicked out one night) it can get real old real quick.
The next pic personally is my favorite one of Joe from this entire trip.
These next few pics are from Road Trip 07 back in october almost the same time as this year's trip out west. 
Another shot of The Rock looking down towards Ghiradelli Square. I took this from halfway up Russian hill.
This next shot was taken atop Russin hill on Lombard street overlooking the bay. This area is famous for it's winding 5mph road that desecends down to Leavenworth street. The road was constructed like a switch back due to its 27 degree decline that was decided unsafe for cars heading straight down or parking here.
All of these photos were taken in Golden Gate Park as well as the Asian Tea Gardens inside the park.
This amazing pic Katie had taken on our balcony at the hostel we stayed in. Which by the way was located in the tenderloin. The worst area in San Francisco by far.
