Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Spring American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco. Im sure very few readers of this highly regarded blog care about chemistry so I wont bore you all with the details of the conference, suffice to say that it all went very well. Of course I also managed to squeeze in a couple days of sight seeing. Since I was in the city of cyclists I decided to shun motorised transport and hire a super nice road bike. Unfortunately San Francisco is a hilly city so my sightseeing proved to be quite tiring, but im sure I appreciated the views more.
The Golden Gate Bridge with the city in the background.
I also managed to sneak out of the conference early one day and check out Alcatraz.
On the last day I rode to the California Academy of Science. One of the coolest things was this pendulum that moves solely by the rotation of the earth and knocks down one of the pins ~30 min.
Every trip needs one artistic attempt.

Bloody bludging students you are nearly asbad as the CJK group they spend most of there time on holiday. Still looks nicer than Sydney as at least you can cycle around the streets there.
