San Francisco |
October 21, 2006 |
Sunrise over the Bay Bridge from the Embarcadero, above, and as seen from Vista Point.
A quick trip to San Francisco featuring a lot of wine and some great food is damn near heaven. Now hopefully I can just take the word "quick" out of that last sentence sometime soon! It was great to be in California with my dad, and also very cool to see my friend and mentor Kim Komenich while in town. I didn't shoot much while I was there, but here is a small look at the mini-vacation. In the very short time I've been gone, my little blog experiment has been outed so I guess there are a few more people watching. Hopefully that won't impact the honesty that Martin was kind enough to mention. In a comment on his recent post, a reader asked why it was so hard to find the RSS of Drinking with a Dead Man... that made me laugh. There is no RSS. This ain't web 2.0, or some shit like that. However, if someone with some tech skills wants to volunteer to polish things up I'd be very grateful... if I had the time or talent to convert over to movable type, everything would be much better. Please e-mail me if interested. Really. [problem solved!] Lastly, Wayne has posted the second installment of his interview with me. This is the part where John plays it all cool and "cagey"...
Tourists click, record, and gape at the views around Pier 39 along Fisherman's Wharf, with Alcatraz, the site of the former notorious prison, in the background. 39 is famous for the dozens of seals that have been allowed to make camp on the pier's slips.
Chris Teachworth sips wine from one of the towers of Castello di Amorosa, a replica Italian castle still under construction in Napa Valley created by wine magnate Daryl Sattui. The castle began with plans for 8,000 sq. ft., but has now ballooned into over 100,000 sq. ft., including giant vaults of wine and underground caves, below, in the dozen years of development.
Headlights streak at twilight returning over the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco.
