So, I'm sure some of you may have noticed my absence from the blogosphere Friday and the lack of book review on Thursday. Well, I can easily explain that in one word: Vacation.
Yup, I was at one of my favorite cities in the world-San Francisco. I was eating the food, visiting SF State, checking out bookstores, the works. I also got a nice relief from the unbearable heat that has been haunting Northern Nevada.
So, now, I feel the need to give advice on how to survive on a vacation to the city by the bay.
First:
ALWAYS DRESS WARMLY. That city is cold, staying at about the fifties-sixties range. Even if you live in the hottest place ever, you should at least bring along a hoodie and jeans. Close-toed shoes would also be advised.
Second:
Don't drive. San Francisco traffic is horrible. The city has public transportation almost everywhere and the buses run relatively late. You can also take the trolley, a train that seems to be seen on the Embarcadero (pardon my spelling), a trolley, or even a taxi. Hell, if you're close enough to the location, walk! Get some exercise. Just don't drive. Though should be a commonly accepted fact at this point. XD
Third:
Don't even do everything on your list. Have fun, don't plan things. Wander around. Maybe even go somewhere that isn't a typical tourist-y thing. Go to a bookstore, a library. Relax, just check it out. San Francisco's a big city and probably one of my favorites. I just love being there and if you need a cool new place to vacation, I would certainly say giving San Francisco a shot.
Well, that's it for now. Au revoir, my friends!
