I've always wanted to visit San Francisco. Unfortunately the roadshow schedule meant that we weren't even going to spend the night there - we arrived at noon from Salt Lake and got the red-eye to Chicago that night. But in the meantime I did find an hour to explore downtown. As it was "Spare the Air" day all public transport was free - even the cable-car trams: how cool is that!



In fact it was boiling - very unusual SF weather I was told. But it was great to wander around for a bit and I did see a tantalising hint of the Golden Gate bridge without ever seeing it properly
