Matt Haughey has a superb picture of San Francisco on Ten Years Of My Life (entry for 1 September 2004) which - for some reason - is making me yearn to go back there. I once visited on a rainy week in 2000. It was a business trip and my first time in the US so there were so many other things going on that I didn't really appreciate it as much as I would have liked to. I do remember the view from the top of the Marriott but it's certainly not as good as Matt's view from the plane.
