If you're going.. to San.. Fran.. cisco..

I just made a trip up to San Francisco not too long ago..

It's a really fun city for those of you that haven't been there.  Once we crossed the bridge into the city I was super stoked just because I have never been there and I love to travel to new places.  

We wandered the streets for a little while and took in the city life.

We ended up at the Fisherman's Wharf near ALCATRAZ!  That was definitely a sight to see just knowing the history of the Island..  And that some crazy's tried to escape from there.  We also some some lazy seals soakin up some sun.

I found this sweet Hubba on our walk and pulled an epic grind brah!

After all that shredding it was time we called it a night.  The next day we decided to go to the Golden Gate Bridge.  That damn thing is amazing!  Maybe just because I have the engineering eye already but it was so crazy to see the size of that thing and how it actually holds up.  I could've sat there the whole day.

But soon we were off to explore more of the city.  Namely, Haight and Ashbury.  Everyone that knew I was going to SF told me to go here so I had to and I'm glad I did.  Its a street full of cool little shops and random people.  The vibe there was pretty rad and the food didn't disappoint. 

That night our friend Dan took us out to a local bar called the 500 club.  I guess its a bar that all the skate rats hang out at and he was right.  I was stoked I got to hook up with Justin there.  I haven't seen him for a while.  I also got to meet one of my favorite skateboarders of all time, Dan Drehobl.  He was such a grumpy old man it was great!  We ended the night with beers and birds.

Finally it was time to wrap up the trip.  We stayed at our friend Brando's house the last night.  He lives in Berkeley and had a rad condo that over looked one of the main streets to UC Berkeley.  This definitely called for beer and heckling.  So thus I commenced!

I actually did get some skateboarding done this trip but Dan hasn't sent me the photo's yet so I have no proof of it.  But I'll post em as soon as I get em..
