The Bay Area - Day 2 - 8/26/11

Hey chowder heads,

Hope this email finds you all well.  I reached the Bay Area from Seattle safely last night.  I figured now would be a good time to give you a holler.

The day before I left Seattle I decided to get in a few last things.  The tour guide from the other day reminded me there was a Nirvana exhibit at the EMP (Experience MusicProject) Museum.  Being a huge fan since way back in the day I didn't want to miss it.  After that, I took the Monorail into downtown and walked up a hilly street to the Capitol Hill area.

Got to San Fran in about 2 hours and then took the train to North Berkeley where my friends Dave and Lynn picked me up.  I hadn't seen them in over 3 years.  We went to a local microbrewery in town and had some dinner.  

I finally gathered enough strength to get out the door and grab a bite to eat before making my way out to San Francisco.  Saw Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf.  

I made my way back to catch the train.  Before that I took a ride on an old-fashioned streetcar

Finally back at Dave and Lynn's writing you this letter.  I think I'll check out Downtown Berkeley tomorrow and see where the day takes me.
