I spent the weekend in San Francisco, joining the dots, travelling on buses, walking through to my soles and drawing. I noticed that time travels extremely fast when you cannot decide where to go; this was my first SF sketching trip of 2008 and I wanted to make the most of it, while covering some new ground, making discoveries. I discovered that the Nob Hill hotel is staffed by nobs, for one thing. Above: a very famous bridge. This time I walked beneath it and around to the rocky Pacific coastline, what an incredible sight. Below: first drawings of the day, courtesy of the amtrak train. There’s my muni bus transfer, there; a kind driver gave me one that lasted all day. I travelled by bus everywhere in the city for less than a quid. Ever had that in London? Didn’t think so. More to come.


Nice post, Pete. You did exactly what I want to do is get to San Francisco via Amtrak. Nice to hear you had a great time. I saw your tiny sketch of the Davis station. Beautifully done. I took pics of this last time I was in Davis. I plan to do a sketch of the transit area whenever.
cheers! I like that journey down through the delta.
My brother suggested I might like this blog. He was entirely right.
This post actually made my day. You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this info!
Thanks!
