On Sunday I drove across the San Mateo bridge to Oakland. This place is an ugly industrial city. I guess thats why San Francisco is so nice - they managed to kick all the industry over to poor Oakland where it is hidden from the world. But I didn't go to see the architecture, I went to see the USS Hornet, a retired aircraft carrier that is open as a museum on the docks of the Alameda, an island in the port. This was seriously one of the most awesome things I have ever done over here. The flight deck, superstructure, hanger deck and deck 2 were all open to the public. They ran tours down into the engine rooms and of the superstructure. I spent about 3.5 hours wandering around- oh and taking 104 photos.
