Very nice pictures you have on flickr.

Damn tourist! You should visit San Diego and Seattle, but San Francisco is a good start! People will love you because of YOUR accent! I know you don't think you've got one, but you do have one when you're here. It's hiding behind your left ear, or something.

Thanks very much, I'm glad that you like :-)

Yeah, tourism is my thing this week - I make no apology. Seattle is very much on my list, in fact I will probably get there next year in the spring. Tell me why I should prioritise San Diego..?

Well, the Mexican food is the best, here in San Diego. It's right next to the border. Besides that, there's a lot of touristy things to do: The San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park, balboa Park, the Embarcadero, Sea World and world class beaches.

Hehehe, I always get "I loooove your accent" when I'm in the US, although I'm not even British and have a foreign accent of my own.

German accents are cool too.

You think so? I dislike German accents and am glad that mine is only slight (it's more like a generic European accent). Most Americans think I'm from the UK so all is good. ;o)

Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger has made it a long way with his German accent. It's too bad that he reminds me of another infamous Austrian, being the self proclaimed "People's Governor". I wish he would go back to just plain old acting.

How did you manage to get a completely empty cable car? Nice shot!

Thanks mon ami - it was pure luck... There had been a problem with the turn-around and so the cable cars were backed up and so while we were waiting to leave there was a car behind us that was just sitting empty. I was at the back of the one I was on, and the brakeman was not yet in place, so I was able to just stand in the middle and snap away until I got exactly the frame that I wanted.
