And perhaps because we were showing the City off to our nephew, Allen, it was real easy to get into the mode of being tourists! Here is a shot of Lombard Street known as the crookedest street in the world!
We definitely left our heart in San Francisco...here in Union Square!
Standing in line waiting for a cable car Allen spent time texting his girlfriend!
Some of these photos are out of sync. Here Allen is beaming while reading the catalogue for the American Conservatory Theater masters program!

We really enjoyed riding the cable cars as our way of transportation through the City,it was fun and invigorating holding on and taking photos at the same time as we climbed

Oh gosh. I love this tour of SF. You know, I think the ACT was just starting up when I was in SF and I had signed up for an audition myself as i loved acting. And was pretty good in college. We had to memorize two monologues, one a comedy and one a tragedy from Shakespeare. However, something odd happened to my brain at that time and I could not memorize these parts. Overstimulation I think with the newness of being in a big booming city etc etc. So, there went my acting career. Good luck to allen as he wends his way through life and his dreams.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day for you all. I can see that your nephew was really interested in those casting calls. Fun and I hope that opportunity knocks for him. I have been to SF before. I even drove there. Scary. ha..
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day. So happy you are getting some vacation time in after your Extreme house makeover & before DH has to go back to school again. I love the shot of Lonbard Street with all those flowers.
ReplyDeleteI left my heart in San Fran too, when I was 19 years old, and all I do now is dream of California! One day I will get back there!
