Day 14: Last day in San Francisco :'(
So this is it. Again the end of our trip is approaching. Yesterday we went to Castro Theatre for a live musical performance of a russian silent film from named “The Overcoat” from 1926. Pretty dramatic / brilliant stuff!
We also met a group of San Franciscans about our own age that insisted San Francisco is the place to go. And perhaps we will? Oh well this was blogged at a speed so here are this mornings last two video updates from San Fran:

Day 12: Craigslist
This is the ultimate list we lost. We are now trying to decipher and do the things the list once said. :)

Day 11: Height / Ashbury
It’s day 11 and we’re somehow settling into the neighborhood. Height was apparently the place where the hippie movement started and doesn’t really seem like it has ended yet.
But now – breakfast!

Day 10: Cold Francisco
It sure is cold. 13°Centigrade! San Francisco seems like the Bergen of California.

Day 10: Oh my god it’s the Golden Gate!
I was very happy we were approaching SF from the North. This way we had to cross Golden Gate to get to San Francisco. And to be honest with you, I was actually quite nervous before approaching this immense bridge. I don’t really know why, it just seemed like a great endeavor. Perhaps also because it was such a milestone for our trip.
We have been traveling by car for over a week, going 3283 km (2043 miles), and now we are approaching our destination. Perhaps the Golden Gate somehow just became a great symbol of “no return” for us? I don’t know, but as we approached it, we weren’t disappointed.

The immense bridge lay in a fast moving cloud of mystery, and it seemed like the temperature gauge dropped by the meter. From the hot territory of Sonoma just north of San Francisco, it was now 20°C lower, clicking in at 15° while we were going across the bridge! Wo0t!?
Day 10: Going to San Francisco!
It is day 10, and we are going to San Francisco! Looking forward to it. The wine district of healdsburg is intensely hot at a temperature of 35°C. The warning signs of San Francisco being a little cooler suddenly seems perfect for us.

From the Cold Coast of Oregon, Kari found a nice accommodation in the little town of Brookings through AirBnB, just on the south border of costal Oregon. And there was bubbles!

Day 6: And then – the Coast
From we set off from Salt Lake City, we had the immense flatlands of Utah, the national parks of Great Teton and Yellowstone in Wyoming, the beautiful Sawtooth mountains of Idaho and the badlands of east Oregon.
And then – after hour after hour traveling through the landscape of nothingness – there it was; the west coast. The end of the great US.
Cold coast
And then came the coast, and with it – the wind and the cold!? Not that we hadn’t done our temperature research; (we even had 1st hand information that people were wearing ‘winter jackets’ in San Francisco in the mid of July?!), but to be honest, we had difficulties understanding it. California is supposed to be the Sunshine State, right?
From the intense 35°C (95°F) heat of Salt Lake City, the temperature was now 15°C (59°F). Yikes!
