San Francisco

Helene and I flew to SF, Pauline took the Greyhound to Montreal.
For us: 10° more, for her: more and more snow...
We loved this place for 3 days, hills and cables cars, hippie spirit, mexican food (aah buritos!), gay flags, Alcatraz, Golden gate bridge, crazy hotel-keeper, 222 Bar (great counter-culture place and deep sound!), illegal slam poetry (!), creepy-smelly YMCA, "Ross dress for less", Museum of Cartoon, Mario Botta, hills and hills again, cup-noodles (cheapest food ever!), Noise Pop Festival.... what else...? pfff
