Back Home Again, in Indiana...

Crap. I had 3 lines, good lines typed out then hit a bookmark by mistake and erased it all. Oh well, basically, I was saying how I had planned on posting from the City by the Bay. I thought I had read that google was providing wi-fi access to the city for free. Turns out that is still in the proposal stage, and our hotel wanted $10, which wasn't bad, but we were never there! So here I am back in good 'Ol Indiana... so I think I will do Saturday in this post, and maybe Sunday in tomorrow's..
Saturday was an outstanding day from start to well almost to finish! We decided to catch a cable car and head up to Fisherman's Wharf. The cable car ride was a great way to see the city as it was meant to be seen. Out at the wharf we did some walking and decided to check out Alcatrez Island. It was $16 to ferry out to the island, listen to a Ranger guided tour, and listen to an audio Cell Block tour. Worth every penny.
After spending 4 hours or so on the island we headed back in to grab some grub San Franciscan style. So of course we went to Hooters, had some wings and beer, realized the beer was priced like it was lobster so we left. Found a great little Irish Pub and bellied up for some Smithwicks and Guinness. Ended up staying out until well into the morning when we realized that the last cable car was leaving or had left. Jumped on the Muni, made it to Market street, got lost on the way walking to the Hotel finally made it in around 3. Whewww.. Good night full of conversations, friends (new & old), and great beer! Thanks :)
