... and who said life was boring as a tourist !Even went for a ride in the cable car and went 52 stories up to look at the view from the Bank of America Building.
Let's start from the beginning now we have your attention !
The idea was for today was to go for a ride on the cable car so off down the road to find the cable car. We ended up at the end of the line at the top of the hills and took a ride back down past Union Square to the bottom where they stop, turn round the cable car and head back to the top again.
That's where 2 policeman were spotted and asked if they could do an advert for us for MVTV. One of them was very shy but the other was very good. We will use the footage on MVTV but you will have to wait until I get back to school and ther kids edit it out.
Chinatown was the next stop and had a good look at the shops - heaps of people as its a Saturday here - so many sometimes that you STOP in the middle of the footpath as there are too many people - sardines is a good description !
A wedding was taking place in the church across the road - it was one that was re constructed after the 1906 earthquake....and while I was in there filming - Allanah was talking to a homeless guy - an ex navy vet - rather articulate and very nice. I told him who I was and what I wanted him to do.... he was very obliging and did an advert about road patrollers - that too you will have to wait until I return.....
During the conference next week I plan to acost some of the other Adobe Eduacation Leaders to help me with adverts and the like so some exciting stuff ahead next week
After that it was a very long walk and ended back at the hotel - diod soem downloading of the video and still pix - had a rest and headed back to the centre of the city to go up the Bank of America Building as they had a great view from the top -really obvious !
The photo below shows how the fog rolls in from the sea late afternoon and if you look carefully you can see the Golden Gate Bridge to the top left....
Thats the video I have posted...
This is the other bridge - The Bay Bridge
Back into the city for tea and then back to the hotel to download the video and do this posting....
I'm off to the Westin St Francis tomorrow so another experience is awaiting me !
