California 2009: Shopping spree, again

2009-01-21: Shopping

California 2009: San Francisco Shopping Spree

In the morning, F_u_r_v_a_n tried to find a certain Toys'R'Us, but we only found a different one. He still got the Nerf gun he was looking for, though.

California 2009: Roadtrip

Another bright sunny day, T-shirt weather again, but more windy than the day before. It was Martin Luther King Day, so we decided to avoid the crowded city and drove along the CA-1 to Point Reyes. But before that, just after breakfast, we took a small walk to the beach. Surf was up, no doubt, and lots of surfers taking the opportunity. The same applied to a flock of sanderlings.

California 2009: San Franciscan Parks

The weather was excellent, so we went to the zoo and took lots of photographs. The meerkats were in a playful mood, the tiger and lions less so, but I had a chance to play a bit with the telezoom lens on the birds.

California 2009: Flight and Arrival

After starting early with a Lufthansa Regional flight from Nuremberg to Frankfurt, I met f_u_r_v_a_n, KayJay and Lynard_ in Frankfurt. The US-Airways flight to Philadelphia with an A330 airbus was very calm and nice. Unfortunately, there was no entertainment program during the connection flight from PHL to San Francisco and we even had to pay for water during the five hour domestic flight, but the staff was friendly and competent. We even arrived half an hour early.
