• San Francisco

    The flight was two hours delayed from Heathrow, but aside from than that it was perfect. Immigration was super fast, no more than 10 minutes, so walked out for an uber less than 30 minutes after landing. Arrived in the hotel at 8 pm and chilled. Stayed right Union Square and it was lovely!!! Woke up super early, of course, and got s lot of work done. Found a perfect old-style American diner for breakfast, then had a bit of drama, and rode around the beautiful city in several Ubers. Met my colleagues for lunch and went to a work event in the afternoon.
    It was a great day and I rediscovered my love of San Francisco. So beautiful in the sun, and witnessed much less of the dark side. There are so many driverless cars, Weymos, in the city now, many more then six months ago. There is strike action locally outside several hotels, actioning for better working conditions and remuneration for hospitality workers. They make one hell of s racket, ALL day long. The strikers are apparently HIRED IN by the unions, they are not actually hospitality employees; WTF?!
