Rainy Day
Got to San Francisco this morning and it was raining. Took the shuttle from the airport to downtown, it only set me back $30, which is better than having had to navigate the BART and go up Powell Street with my luggage.
The hotel is nice, though they lack internet access in the room. The Crowne Plaza is among the dozen or so hotels that have locked out their janitorial staff over the latest contract. Apparently the hotels want a five year deal, which is what it always was, but the union wants a three year deal.
The city is great. The buzz of this town is kinda cool. Even in the rain, it has an energy that seems pretty unique. I stumbled on the Apple Store here, and Union Square is kinda nice, even if it is filled with the same cookie cutter shops like Starbucks and the Cheesecake Factory.
I think I'm gonna head to the Haight and try and have a few beers at Toronado.
