Honking cars hugging the curb

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.

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!

A whole lot of
people watching
Daisy Bain
My experience in San Francisco was
great! 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.
