The Land of the Free

So we arrived in San Francisco a few days ago and after spending the night in a posh hotel in the city we met up with Liam, Nicky and Tom in our hostel in the Mission District. In the evening we met up with Oli and Katie as well who are here for a wedding. It was really nice to see so many people I knew at once, after not seeing anyone I knew for about 2 months. Last night we met up with Si too so there’s quite a Devon contingency here at the moment – or Devon Brethren as Archie would say.

We’ve already toured the thrift stores and found plenty of Burning Man outfits and been to a hardware store to pick up some more essentials like goggles and masks. Everyone’s getting pretty excited now – some of us (read Thomas Oscar) a little too excited and may have to be kept on a leash to prevent anything bad happening.

Today we’re heading downtown to Haight Ashbury and then Union Square for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. Tomorrow we’re going to Alcatraz.
