This Sentry has No Face
This is the former Nike missile site outside San Francisco. We got out to take pictures. I didn't have to worry about the gaurd though because he isn't real! He doesn't even have a face- he's just wearing sunglasses.
On a side note: the only way that I can remember how to spell the Cisco in Francisco is to think of Cisco Systems. I don't know why Cisco Systems has a strong impression on me- I think ti was because my used to watch CNBC a lot during the tech boom in the 90s and I would come home from school every day to hear about Cisco.
Alcatraz
We didn't plan to go to Alcatraz on our SF trip but once I saw it, I wanted to go so badly. It's such a strange structure. We didn't make it this trip, but I'll make sure we do next time.

a bit hyperbolic, but i'll take it
No one heard when it began, but we soon realized there was a background noise. We stopped to listen: It was a static-riddled voice, like someone was speaking into a megaphone.
... words on a parchment would not be enough to deliver slaves from bondage ...
It was coming from the brownstone next to Cobre.
... it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup ...
On what looked like the fourth floor, someone had attached a small speaker to the building, and pointed it toward us. The voice picked up.
... the press has scoured every exit poll for the latest evidence of racial polarization ...
"Is that God?" asked an older volunteer.
"No," I said, standing near the brownstone, "that's Obama."
The Philadelphia City Paper has a great article by a reporter who went undercover to volunteer for the Clinton campaign before th Pennsylvania primary that shows pretty clearly why she lost the nomination.
