These are a small collection of my photo's taken from my summer in California. I worked in San Francisco, and I lived in Berkeley. It's definitely time for a return visit. It's the coolest place, the people are lovely, the sun shines all the time. What more could you want?
I've put in thumbnails too, but I'll keep the ramblings from 1999 too, but adding a few updates. They're highly embarrassing in hindsight :)
So here's the first obvious one :
The Golden Gate Bridge
Then there's the view of the City and Alcatraz from the Golden Gate Bridge - The Bay
This is my house, 2313 Durant Avenue, Berkeley. Fond memories of sitting on the stoop having some beers.
This is emily, myroomate...she rockes while others just shake slightly! She's a special education teacher based in New Orleans at the moment, but she's originally from Los Angeles. She now works in Monteray.
These photo's are from my trip down to Mountain View to see The Lilith Fair. Renee and I had a brilliant time, and still tell plenty of stories from that day :)
This is Simon And Gage. I met Simon and Danny in O'Hare International Airport on the way to San Francisco, and we spent our 3 hours or so stop over together chatting, eventually discovering that Simon used to live with my friend Aideen and he knew my bestest bud (or imaginary friend as people have call her) Tain.
Brian and Alison: Alison came over about a month after myself and Simon, Danny and Karen. She's a friend of Karen's. Brian is from Seattle and again is another corporate trainer who worked with us in San Francisco.
Lastly, this is Dave and Karen. Dave was one of my managers in Sony Theatres. He's also from New Jersey and swore blind to me that he had contacts with the mafia. I don't believe him though. Karen sat beside me on the way from Chicago to San Francisco and we ended up sharing a room in USF the first night we arrived. She lived on Ashbury street with Alison and Alison's brother. They had one of those really cool wooden houses 8)
