My San Francisco experience!






















San Francisco!!!!
















grooovie!!!!
What better way to spend a saturday evening than to wach a open door movie in a park?

Today is Monday the 28.07, I'm in my 5th day of travels and I'm slowly geting a grip with all those things one needs to be careful about when traveling (have your wallet at all times, eat, take water...etc).
I arrived here on Friday and only after three days I can say I'm realizing that I'm on another continent, traveling, exploring.......
First day I remember walking the streets and asking my self why the hell did I come here when It's all the same as in Austria, just with bigger cars and broader streets......now I see how wrong I was...every thing here is so different form my faraway Europe.


















We (wonderfull, funny swedish CS couple that was surfing the same hause as I did), found (and very much enjoyed) great restaurants and a caffes...kind of "love the earth, we dont cook our food, peace and love.....maaan!" type of buiseness that you can
only find in San Francisco!

I haven't seen a lot from SF, probably could have seen more, but I stick to my decision to make this trip a relaxed one....different form my Turkey travel (22 city in 24 days) last year.
There is no better place to start a lade back trip than in this BEAUTIFUL city of hippies, thrift stores (second hand) and healthy food, free trade cafes shops that's for sure.

















Ok....it's just a parking mashine...but!!! for me it's
one of those things that facinate me..I've only seen it in the movies! I relised it was my first time to pay it at a mashine like that so I needed to document it!















MOMA, SF Musem of modern art. The main attraction
was the
Frida Kahlo exibiotion a very cool coincidence knowing
that I'll be there very soon... a great warm up for knowing a
new culture!
BDW that is me next to a Chinese contemporary instalation.















No, no....it's not the real thing...I mean it is but it's

the other bay bridge that connects SF with Oakland
(the autor of this photo was not awear of this fackt
at the moment of the making of the photo lol!)
a big disappointment when realising tomorrow............

I will be back here for my return flight, so I left all the second hand shopping for my second visit,
I bought my spanish-english dict, mexico lonely planet, and a book Optimist (how tipical for me :D) writen by Voltaire also in Spanish.......bought my laptop (1kg only) for extencive lerning of Java program language and that makes me more or less ready to move on.....
I found a ride for LA tomorrow and a CS host allready!
I'm off to explore further parts of California! Bye for now!

Kako se cini nista od kruznog putovanja po USA, znaci, SF pa LA pa Mehiko. Skoro da bi rekao da je to i bolji izbor. Utvrdi dobro adrese u Mehiku, njega jos nisam pokrio s lokacijama i kontaktima, mada sam imao jedan dobar ali prije 20 godina. Sad je sigurno udana s brdom djece.
Lijepo si nam to slozio o nama kod tebe, iduci put treba da ne radis pa da mozemo vise i sire dobaciti.
Marmolada je otpala zbog loseg vremena a termin nismo mogli mijenjati, ljudi su prilagodili svoje obaveze. Tako smo otisli 3 dana na Kamniske alpe u Sloveniji sto se pokazalo odlicnim izborom. Divlje su i neukrocene, a i vrijeme nam je bilo super. Neki su ozbiljno pukli s kondicijom. Davor i ja dobro smo iskoristili zajednicke sate. Malo smo i tebe hvalili.
Idem sad javit cu se opet.

Ivan! Myself being back home in the old country, at work and suffering from severe jet lag, I wish that I could have stayed on and continued travelling the Americas.

But the next best thing is your blog and I will follow your adventures closely.

It was great getting to know you and I hope we'll get the opportunity to meet up again in some random geographic spot.
