Being slow-witted as I obviously am - I just remembered that SF is has a strong connection with the Beat poets! Always been a fan of Ginsburg, Kerouac et al, despite their many flaws and often mediocre writing.
So, my short list thus far is, in no particular order:
- The Bay - because it's there, and my home town (Plymouth, UK) sits on a most beautiful bay, thus I am drawn to such features.
- Chinatown for food (I'll let my Chinese wife be the judge of that)
- Golden Gate Bridge (even if from a distance)
- City Lights Bookstore
- Lombard Street
- Japan Town (may even shift the travel dates to accommodate the Nihonmachi festival, and there is a Kinokuniya there too, so I can have a quick rummage for stationery).
That should keep us entertained for a couple of days.
