Driving Downtown is fun Location: San Francisco This was the worst driving experience of the trip. Sure, it's cool to stay in a hotel in downtown SF, but the people on the road were not gentle and did not seem to have flowers in their hair. - 103 0384 IMG
A touch of the old style Location: San Francisco Yet another building in this city which is definitely not our hotel. Maybe our hotel's a little bit further up, oh wait, maybe not, um, well maybe we'll find it over here... eventually. - 103 0386 IMG

We were quoted a statistic that 23 drinks are opened by m$ employees a second. Even if m$ has a $.10 cost per drink, that is on the order of a $100M annual drink budget. - 104 0463 IMG
Drew gets ready to belay Location: the Marymoore park climbing structure This is our second time to use the new equipment we bought. Here, drew checks to make sure there are no kinks in the rope before bryan climbs. Ain't that sweet?
