Skateboard Tetris
A crew of skateboarders out of San Francisco made this video by attaching neon Tetris pieces to their back and skating down a hill. Nice!

Alcatraz
The day before leaving San Francisco I did one of the most touristy things imaginable and went to Alcatraz for a tour. It was totally worth the time/money. Some pics below, one actual day (and two calendar days) later I would be hitting the waves off the coast of Oz.
As approaching the island:
A prisoners "living" space:
The keys to freedom are held tantalizingly out of reach:
From the small outdoor grounds (prisoners allowed to go outside for one hour a day with good behaviour) you can just see over the wall to the city across the bay:
Touristy? Yes. Awesome? Also yes.

San Fran
The travelling tour is going crazy fast, already a week gone by! I figured I better get up some pics from San Francisco considering the fact that I'm already skipping out on most of my plans here in Sydney to hit 5:30am waves, no joke.
So here's a quick photosnapshot of how great San Fran was (more to cum):
Want a workout? Try trekking through San Fran all day. The hills are killer on the knees!
Of course I checked out the local tourist hot spots, including the warf. Ok that's enough of that...
There's also lots of hidden treasures around the various parks and plaza's around the city:
Another great hide away, and fantastic spot for a pint I might add:
There's nothing like a lazy afternoon nap :-)
Love the sea lions. I sat here having lunch and could have let them entertain me all day:
The Art Museum, very cool:
Five hours after leaving the downtown core I finally arrived at the Golden Gate Bridge. Way more impressive in movies and TV than in real life. Well cross that one off the list:
Looks like rain, the view of the city from the GG Bridge:
The rain threatened to move in but the surfers were happier than ever as the waves started rolling in really nice like:
