MacWorld – 1
Derry and I have arrived in San Francisco to attend MacWorld. It’s our yearly trek and we tend to arrive earlier than the show’s start because of better airfare rates. These photos are nothing great, just some snapshots of the start of our journey.
After our long flight, we’ve arrived. It was an excellent flight, and we watched several episodes of a UK series called “Survivors” on the iPod.
It was a clear evening.
Making our trek to the Moscone Center.
2009. Still surprises me. When I saw first saw the signs my thought was “2009? Aren’t they jumping the gun a bit advertising for next year.” Than, daaaa … I realized it IS 2009.
Since it’s on the way back …
There were beautiful holiday decorations in the shopping center.
The ceiling.
With the weather in the 50s and clear, we decided to walk …
and walk …
and walk …
and walk. The hills are always such a workout!
There was a blimp hovering about, but I found this creepy.
What goes up …
(some Photoshop effects)
Must go down.
Eventually we made it to the Wharf area where we had to eat at an In-N-Out, a burger place that I love. I wish this chain would open in NJ, namely within a brief driving distance (walking would be better yet) from my home.
After all of that walking, it was time to take the cable car back up to our suites in the Nob Hill area.
It’s out of focus, but I did take it from a moving cable car.
Tomorrow we’re off to the show.

Thanks for those wonderful photos of SF. I used to live there. In fact, that photo of San Francisco Centre at 5th & Market — I used to work in the building directly across the street and looked out on that very scene for four years!
It’s such a small world, isn’t it?
Enjoy the show!

Oh wow! Then you worked in a VERY cool area! San Francisco is one of my all-time favorite cities to visit. I just love it here.
