Day 1 (Part 2): San Fran



We finally got to San Fran. We were driven from the airport to the hotel. On the way i got to see all the outer suburbs of the City. My best description of the city. "It's like someone has made a whole of hills, and threw buildings on like a kid would throw lego onto sand." After the hotel, we first went down to the fisherman's wharf and went looking around in all the different shops. Upon walking into an NFL shop, i ran into Jeff Barnes. Jeff  played for the Oakland Raiders from 1977 to 1987, and played in both the 1980 and 1993 Superbowl's. Not only did i get a photo with him. I also got to wear one of his Superbowl rings. We finished the arvo with a night tour of Alcatraz. I got to see the whole place, and got a little enjoyment seeing my sister in a jail cell. It was a great attraction, and it was not overrated at all. I was so excited after the first day, it wouldn't matter if i came back home right now. I cant believe i have another month over here.

Arrived at San Fran tired and full checked in at Frank Hotel CBD area.Walked to Pier 1 then on to Pier 4 something returning to Pier 33 for Alcatraz tour. Lots of history and slowly crumbling away due to weather and Tourists. Walked back to Hotel breaking my sandals in front of Macy's.
Slept 11pm till 11am

    roosters beat tiger 19-15. Maddest game Eva roosters stole the ball from a tigers scrum and anaster kicked a 30m field goal from like 15m in from sideline and then after 100 minutes roosters got an intercept. I think there were like 5 field goal misses from both team in extra time lol
