So, I'm in San Francisco right now. It's about 80 degrees, no humidity, and I'm kind of wondering why I don't live here full time. Since I was in Frisco last summer, I've basically done all the touristy things you can do. So, I've decided to just trek a bit. I walked through Golden Gate Park yesterday on my way to the beach. This ended up being a 3 hour jaunt, as I got lost multiple times. What a great park! They have everything there! Everything. I saw plants from every continent, a golf course, a wind mill, a Japanese tea garden, tennis courts, and even bison! Bison!!! They have massive buffalos running around this one area. Who'd a thunk it?
Anyway, I finally landed on the beach where I proceeded to zone out for a few hours. I was interrupted by some puppies t
hat I about put in my bag as souvenirs. The owner, in hot pursuit, didn't like that idea. Oh, and while on the beach, I began reading this guide book Will gave me. It's a guide book for people without jobs in San Fran. Perfect!
It's a pretty interesting book. For instance, I learned where to buy the best drugs and which grocery stores were the best to hook up with people. Apparently, being without a job means you have more sexual encounters and you do more drugs. I was astonished at how many places (parks, ally ways, monuments, bushes) thi
s book listed as hot-spots for this type of activity. Let's just say that as a straight male, I will NOT be reading my morning paper behind the benches in Buena Vista Park anymore.
Below is a cool monument that I saw (probably another gay rendez-vous spot?). On the theme of gravestones, I thought this would make a great one. Oh the power! Also, I took a picture at the beach of this mountainous thing erupting from the Pacific Ocean (at the top of the post) I think it's Mount Everest. OK, time to get back on the unbeaten tourist trail.

I've been to ALL those "hot-spot" parks, ally ways, monuments, and bushes in san fran you're talking about. Fun!!! The statue is a bit familiar... was probably preoccupied with other things to notice how cool it was.
