Ah…finally, a journal entry.

Everyone should come go to San Francisco. I managed to see a great deal of tourist attractions- the common, the kitschy and the interesting ones. My favorite had to have been in the Haight & Ashbury neighbourhood. A guy walked down the street dressed in a white summer dress and running sneakers and carried a ‘protest-esque’ sign that said ‘Lighten up baby I’m a chicken.’ But, the one factor tying his whole deal together was the chicken noises he made as he walked down the street. “Bock…bock…bock…”

The other interesting activity I took part in this whole weekend was listening to people’s conversations. Ok, not everyone’s conversations, just the conversations of German tourists. A. They happened to be everywhere. B. I consider it learning because I am hearing the German language and identifying words I am not familiar with. In general, it wasn’t all that interesting. No one said anything too strange, gossipy or about me. I should have just talked to them…but, at the time I decided against it because you can’t talk to people you’re eavesdropping on. Next time…

Wow. I haven't posted anything in about a million years. Sorry. But, I can't really say I know of any avid readers of this blog, so it doesn't matter anyway.

My trip out to California was not without its flaws. When I got to the airport, I had to move three pounds of luggage from one bag into another becacause of weight limits. Fine. Even though one of my bags weighed drastically less than the other bag, I still complied.

Then, I landed in Denver. The ride was turbulent due to wind coming over the Rockies. It wasn't fun, but I landed ok. After landing, I discover my flight to San Jose was delayed about 2 and a half hours. Great...again.

After landing in San Jose, I went to pick up my rental car. Well, the people there screwed it up a bit and gave my car out to someone else. So, I had to sit around 45 minutes for them to figure out the paperwork to let me go. Great...once again.

But, so far so good here in California. The company is awesome...and I hope I'm able to learn all of the stuff I'm suppose to learn...uh...quickly. It's all just so much info.
