7 Minute Miles

Adios San Francisco


Today was the last day of WWDC 2006 and I’m currently at SFO waiting for my flight home. Security was no problem and we have another two hours to wait before our flight leaves. I bought the $10 day pass for internet access to pass the time and just filled out the online feedback survey for the conference (lots of feedback for them this year–more on that later).

We attended all three morning sessions, then walked over to Town Hall for lunch. I had Faith’s warm Smithfield ham and cheese toast with poached egg sandwich, which was really tasty, but small. After lunch, we walked over to the Embarcadero and re-traced my running route up to Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square. I took a ton of pictures and will upload them to the photo section when I get home.

After a chocolate ice cream cone at Ghirardelli’s, we waited about an hour to take a cable car back to the other side of town. We stopped at Macy’s Marketplace to pick up some Boudin sourdough bread loaves, then walked down to Mel’s Drive-In for dinner. Picked up the bags at the Marriott, then hit the road in a crazy cab ride to the airport (why is it that cab drivers get to drive as fast and reckless as they want and never seem to get pulled over?). We had a pretty great week: perfect weather, wonderful food and lots of learning opportunities. It’s going to be a busy few weeks at work with all of these new ideas…DK
