Trolleys, hills and Alcatraz. Also great bars and food, Haight-Ashbury, hippies, drug casualties and fun!

Unfortunately I left my heart there, so I've got to go back and search for it now.

Turtles. And to explain the seeming randomness of that statement: once, when we were in San Francisco with my maternal grandparents, my grandmother bought me a small carved turtle, of a very pretty green stone.

Trams and hills. My mum organised a surprise round the world trip for my dad's 60th and I had to get a slide show together for his party, San francisco was represented by trams and hills amongst other images. They said it was a lovely place.

1) Watching them film a couple of street scenes for The Game. 2) Lombard Street 3) Slipping a joke-shop cigarette load into a smoke and then giving it to a homeless guy 4) Pulling my buddy out from behind the toilet after about 6 Boilermakers and 3 pints of Guinness, picking his pocket for cab fare, and stopping halfway across the bridge so he could puke into the bay.

I think it's lacking in moral fiber like most Christian communities.

I immediately think of the San Francisco Brewing Company - a little microbrewery in the Bay area. Fantastic beers, great atmosphere, staff that are close and seem to enjoy being there. I travel to San Fran a couple of times a year with work (from Australia). When I turn up at the bar they always remember me and say "Welcome home buddy."

Sourdough bread and the Alcatraz Jail Tour. Those are the first things that come to my mind. Then the "Streets of San Francisco", both the TV show and the actual streets that we have seen so many times, like on the Rice-A-Roni commercial and countless movies. The car chases on cops, detectives and action movies are unique, with the cars jumping like gazelles. The Dirty Harry movies come to my mind too, and the Golden Gate Bride, plus many other things....

Sitting on a dumpstered sofa to eat a cheese, green onion, and spinach crepe made fresh out of a cart on Folsom and 11th. Or maybe lemon and butter if something sweet is called for. The thing is, the proprietors of said cart see no need to hold regular business hours and come around whenever they feel like it, but when they are open... Oh, then all the other trips were worth it.

The incredibly fresh seafood, eating Italian food in North Beach, Michael Savage on the radio, the bridges over the bay, Forty-niner superbowls, The old cow palace, Cable cars, and TOny Bennett singing I left my heart in SF, as well as Karl Malden and Micheal Douglas solving crimes on the Streets of San Francisco, Dirty Harry, and most of all a lot of childhood memories.
