57 off to san francisco
dear all
i went to san francisco for the weekend. i was staying in LA waiting to get to the office today because of this stupid shit i have to deal with concerning my job and i did not want to stay here. i do not like LA that much. sure i love walking aorund in downtown and i think santa monica and venice are great. but apart from that: boehoe...
so off i went to san francisco. first to just getaway from la, second to visit sfo again and third to get things sorted out with my bank who closed my account. yes, they are unable to do that in los angeles or on the phone. i took the highway to san francisco thinking i would get there in 7 hours. WRONG. there are traffice jams, detours, roadblocks, roadworks, accidents... it's incredible how long it takes to get OUT of Los Angeles on ao friday morning... it took me almost 3 hours or so to get to the highway number 5. i tried other ways to avoid traffic jams but it just did not work.. everything was jammed...
highway 5 is BORING... honestly, there is nothing there, no nice views, no nice cities... and it is LONG... it's a highway so you think speed limit will be 90 miles but no, it's 65 miles/hour... but i just 'went with the flow' and drove up to 90 at times... hope the radars don't work that well here.. the strange thing with miles is that they are so much longer than kilometers.. i hear you laugh, but what i want to say is: your intellect knows miles are longer, but your guts think in kilometers... for instance... you see a distance saying: 50... so you think, okay it is goig from bruges to ghent so i will be there in half an hour.. your intellect says: bear in mind it is miles so it might take longer... however,,, after half an hour you still need to drive 30 miles which makes you think: DAMN that far..
i had an appointment in the bank where i had opened an account. i had to be in sfo before 18h... so the drive up there wasn't so relaxing as i constantly thought i would not make it. however, i arrived in sfo at 17h. crossing the bay bridge which is so cool. if you ever drive to san francisco make sure you drive over the bay bridge from oakland... the weather was beautiful so it was the coolest thing there is.. made my day.. the bank did not have an instant solution for my problem (the closed my account and sent the money to san francisco but that check is apparently LOST somewhere).. but hey i was in san francisco
