Being in San Francisco # I spent the last two weeks together with Thilo in San Francisco - and neighboring areas. I had asked beforehand for recommendations on where to go and what to do, had purchased a “Rough Guide to California” as well as a “Lonely Planet guide for San Francisco”. In addition I shared my arrival and departure times with a few people I know here. As to be expected our schedule quickly grew until it exploded, so we ended up doing greedy optimisation stuffing things in and putting them out again while we went along.

Dear lazy web: Travel recommendations # Finally getting to spend some days of vacation in the bay area soon - so I thought I might try to leverage the lazy web on recommendations on what not to miss while there. So far on our list:

Spend one or two days strolling through the city to take photos

White Christmas # Christmas brought “a little surprise” to Germany last night:
The result this morning: a few cm (as in about 20) of snow - that is a white christmas everyone had been looking forward to. Just one question: Where to put all that snow when digging out my car? ;)
Thanks to snow clearing services streets are all white but well drivable. Other than that lots of time for enjoying the white weather.

Frau Holle, Frau Holle # Winter arrived in Germany - below a few pictures I took last Thursday morning:
Seems like this season winter is trying real hard to prove that I am wrong saying that there is no real winter in Berlin with just about a week snow on the streets ;) Guess its time to get the tires with spikes back on my bike.
