Honking cars hugging the curb Maggie Jirasek How people park their cars was in The first thought I had when we ar rived in San Francisco was Man, people have an interesting driving style here. And they sure do! I have been many places, but I’ve never seen people drive as crazy as they do over there. It seems like, no matter what’s in their way, nothing can stop them once they are on the road. Just honk and everything will move out of your way. When walking through town, you were always accompanied by ‘beauti ful’ honking tones, which I got used to after some time. . Looking down from the 23rd floor. teresting as well. You could almost get the impression that the cars parked on the street were glued to the curb. There was not even an inch left between the car and the curb. Nice parking job! I figured that it’s probably safer that way. If I lived there, I would park my car as close to the curb as possible so the chance of getting hit by someone would be lower, at least to some degree. However, besides the crazy driv ers, San Francisco is an interesting city and there are lots of things to see. Just remember, never ever cross the street without a green light!

It was my first time in California and also my first time flying in an air plane. My mostmemorable part of the tripwaspeoplewatching. Everybody there seemed rushed and they drove like maniacs. There were also a tot of street enter tainers doing different things to make money. The Bush Man 2001 was my favorite. He would hide behind a hand-held bush and jump out to scare people as they walked down the side walk. People nearly jumped out oftheir skin. The San Francisco Treat The audience was the people across the street. Nearly the whole street would bust into laughter at the frightened people. It happened to me. Jenny Chavez It was very humiliating and at the same time funny. Exploring the city Diana Scrivner My favorite thing about San Fran cisco was walking around and explor ing the city. We explored Fisherman’s Wharf, The Pier, Little Italy and Alcatraz by bus, foot and trolley. I was very excited to ride the trolley; we rode it over hills, past Lombard Street, and to the Wharf. What surprised me about San Fran- DIANA SCRIVNER I Clackamas Print I had a great experience at the conference because of the expo sure to other ideas and paper for-, mats from al 1 over the nation. It is so interesting to see what others are doing. I lived in SF for five years and loved being the tourist in stead of a rushing commuter, riding the cable cars as a treat and enjoy ing the excitement in the faces of the others as they experienced it for the first time. cisco were two things: that there are so many homeless people on the streets: and that houses are all located right next to each other with no yard whatsoever. There are some parks in the city, but I kept wondering: How does anyone own a dog there? Our four days in San Francisco came to an end as we flew over the city at night, seeing the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.
