Hey fellow readers.  Apologies for the gap in postings but I decided to escape Rockies fever and visit San Francisco for the early part of the week.

I don’t know anyone in the Bay Area, and during my four years living in southern California I only managed to make it up there twice.  I know, my loss.  It’s a beautiful city with a vast amount to offer.  And at almost 80 degrees it was a nice change from Denver’s early cold spell.

I rode the new BART line that opened in 2006 from SFO to downtown.  I was surprised to read in this ’06 SF Gate article that ridership wasn’t as high as expected.   I hope it’s improved since than.  Any city that incorporates commuter rail to their airport deserves recognition. I found it a fast (30 minutes to Civic Center) and pleasant ride.
