Super Fag: Fly Boy Adventures!

Well it seems as though the 'Super Fags' have found something of a home in San Francisco, what with it being the gay capital of the world. We dropped of our car at the airport and were picked up by Geo. He's a lovely man whose house we're lodging in for the nex

t three weeks. Upon our arrival he drove us up to the top of this big hill, from this point we could see all of San Francisco and got a nice of its layout. We drove home and became acquainted with our new surroundings. This is a photo

We had a bit of a walk around town through the Mission district and

around the Castro, the streets are lined in rainbow flags and there's a really diverse and eclectic mix of people. Generally the place seems very accepting of all cultures and

ages, there's a really friendly atmosphere which is extremely contrasting to the ghetto of Inglewood, where we stayed in LA.

San Fran is really simply laid out, mostly I think it's a grid city and most places are walking distance which is excellent. Geo cooked us an amazing dinner on our first night here, which was a relief after many burger dinners for lack of other options. We've seen so many little restaurants and coffee places that look really good.

Today (our second day here) we headed off in different directions. Justin took some photos in the Castro and headed down Market street where he bought a skateboard. And I headed straight down Market street, the main street that runs through the city centre and down to the ferry building. I had intended to march all the way to the end but became sidetracked in the hunt for a thick jacket. Something i didn't think i would need but because of SF's location near the ocean the nights are super cold. On the way i passed City Hall and bought some peaches at a farmers market in the Civic Centre and i found the Orpheum, the theatre where Wicked premiered prior to opening on Broadway and where it's playing now until September. I soon headed back to the Castro and met up with Justin and we went to a coffee place called Spike's with real (and massive) lattes that were excellent. We even made friends with the staff and might be meeting up with this guy called Brendan on Friday because apparently he likes to show people around and is really friendly.

Having three weeks here is really nice. We have time to relax without the panic of ticking all the tourist boxes, although the time will come for that. I should also mention i finished reading High Fidelity today and it was an excellent read. Now i don't know what to read next. Not much is planned for this week; later tonight there is a party at some bar which we might attend, there's a sandwich place i've been told to try, i want to check out Union Square and the discount theatre ticket booths and of course the on going hunt for a jacket continues. I think it's fair to say we're both a bit in love with San Francisco. More later.

Fun, enjoyness...

Josh and Justin...
